Little Red Wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red
wagon,
Bumping up and down in my little red
wagon,
Bumping up and down in my little red
wagon,
Having so much fun!

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
