Diddle-diddle Dumpling My Son John

   One shoe off and one shoe on,
   Diddle-diddle Dumpling my son John.

2 .Diddle-diddle Dumpling my son John
   Ate mince pies with his jym-jams on.
   He ate one, then two, then three.
   Just one more, and that was four!

3. Diddle-diddle Dumpling my son John
   Ate mince pies with his jym-jams on.
   He dropped crumbs all over the place,
   With a currant on his face!

   Ate mince pies with his jym-jams on.

   Of that scrumptious mince-meat stuff!

Didn’t you get a bad head ache?

To see dear Santa’s two big feet!

No, I only saw
Santa going out the door!

Polly Put the Kettle On

Come and see my Christmas tree
Twinkling oh so prettily.
It is twice as tall as me,
let’s go and see.

CHORUS:
Something special after tea,
Hanging on my Christmas tree.
One for you and one for me.
Let’s go and see.
Polly put the kettle on,
Polly put the kettle on.
Polly put the kettle on,
We’ll all have tea.

CHORUS:
Something special after tea,
Hanging on my Christmas tree.
One for you and one for me.
Let’s go and see.

7. Turkey in His Tum-Tum AHCM256
Yankee Doodle Came to Town

1. Yankee Doodle ate some turkey         2. Yankee Doodle came to town
    For his Christmas dinner.                             A-riding on his pony.
    He washed it down with lemonade.        He stuck a feather in his cap
    He thought it was a winner.                       And called it macaroni.

CHORUS: Yankee Doodle doodle-dee,
Yankee Doodle dum-dum.
Yankee Doodle felt so good
With turkey in his tum-tum.
