Baa Baa Black Sheep
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Originally written in the 13th
century this nursery rhyme is
about splitting taxes on wool
between the farmer, church and
the king of the country.
Row Row Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily,…
Published in 1852, this nursery
rhyme was written to help teach
kids about being positive no
matter what life brought in
their paths.

Pop Goes the Weasel
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Ha ha, yeah
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Every night, when I go out
The weasel's on the table
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop goes the weasel
Up and down the city road
In and out of the eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
Mix it up and make it nice
Pop goes the weasel
The meaning behind pop goes
the weasel is about men pawing
their suits and expensive
items for more money when
their tavern money ran out. We
believe that this song was written
in the 18th century.
