欢乐地摇下又摇上，伦敦的鐘儿响噹噹。提到枪靶和靶心，就数大鐘圣马格丽特。提到瓦片和砖头，就数大鐘圣吉尔斯。提到橘子和柠檬，就数大鐘圣克雷门。提到糕饼和馅饼，就数大鐘圣彼德。两根木棒一颗苹果，那就是大鐘白教堂。提到光头老神父，就想到大鐘阿得盖特。提到穿白围裙的女士们，就数大鐘圣凯萨林。说到火叉和火钳，就数大鐘圣约翰。说起茶壶和煎锅，就想到大鐘圣安娜。提到五毛钱和两分半，就数大鐘圣马汀。提到你欠我十先令，就想到大鐘圣海伦。要问你什麼时候还钱，就让我想到大鐘老贝礼。还钱？得等我有钱，就想到大鐘休尔狄区。等你有钱？那是什麼时候？就想到大鐘史特普尼。我也不太清楚，似是大鐘包伍的回应。应该是我老的时候吧，说话的像是大鐘圣保罗。蜡烛点燃时你该上床睡觉去，当心刀斧要你的命

3.Lizzie Borden Took An Axe
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Hit her father forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She hit her mother forty-one.

砍了爸爸四十下。

4.There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile
There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.
一个扭曲的男人，走了一哩扭曲的路。
手拿扭曲的六便士，踏上扭曲的台阶，
买一隻歪歪扭扭的猫儿，猫儿抓歪歪扭扭的老鼠。
他们一起住歪歪扭扭的小屋。
5.There was a man, a very untidy man
There was a man, a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere be found
to put in his tomb.
He had rolled his head far underneath the bed;
He had left legs and arms lying
all over the room.
一个男人，一个不整洁的男人，
他的手指到处找不到，没办法放进坟墓。
他的头远远滚到床底；
他的腿和手臂，在房间裡到处乱丢。
6..Sing A Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four-and-twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Was not that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting-house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
唱一首六便士之歌，
袋子裡装满黑麦；
二十四隻黑画眉，
被放在派裡面烤！
当派被剥开，
画眉开始唱歌；
那可不是放在国王桌前，
十分可口的一餐吗？
国王在帐房数钱；
王后在客厅吃麵包蜂蜜。
女僕在花园晒衣；
一隻黑画眉飞来，
啄走了她的鼻子。
7.Three Blind Mice
Three blind mice! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice?
三隻瞎眼的老鼠！看牠们跑的方式！
牠们追著农夫的老婆，
她用餐刀切了牠们的尾巴。
你这辈子见过像这样的东西吗？
和三隻瞎眼的老鼠一样。
