Lyrics
JACK AND JILL MEDLEY
[Story narration by Melanie Ann White]
Traditional Nursery Rhymes included:
JACK AND JILL
1. Jack and Jill went up a hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after
2. Jack and Jill fell down the hill
Because they weren?t being careful
Jack got up and Jill got up
And they had learned their lesson.
Traditional. Verse 2 written and recorded by Melanie Ann White

LONDON BRIDGE
1. London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady
2. Build it up with iron bars...
3. Iron bars will bend and break...
4. Build it up with candy bars...
EENCY WEENCY SPIDER
1. The eency weency spider
Crawled up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the eency weency spider
Crawled up the spout again.
