Cuckoo

I'm walking in the wood.  Cuckoo
I'm singing in the wood. Cuckoo

//A cuckoo in the tree. Cuckoo
Is singing here with me. Cuckoo//

Pease Porridge hot

Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old

Some like it hot

Some like it cold
Some like it in the pot, nine days old

I'm Freezing

I'm freezing, I'm freezing
hope I don't star sneezing
Ah choo!  Ah choo!

Mushy, slushy, cold and wet,
snowsuits and boots.
is it over yet?
Ah choo!  Ah choo!
