Queen of Hearts she made some tarts

on a summer's day;
Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts
took them clean away.
King of Hearts called for the tarts
beat the Knave full sore
Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts
vowed he'd steal no more.

I'm the Queen of Hearts I did some tarts

All on a summer's day;
I'm the Knave of Hearts and I stole the tarts
And I took them clean away.
I'm the King of Hearts and I called for the tarts
And I beat the Knave full sore
I'm the Knave of Hearts and I brought back those tarts
And I vowed I'll steal no more.
Queen: You better not young man!
Knave: No more!
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts
All on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts
And beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts
And vowed he'd steal, vowed he'd steal
he vowed he'd steal no more.
No more No more No more
(Knave: Well I don't know about that,
I mean, they were there for the taking,
weren't they? I mean, I can't promise nothing I mean I'm just a knave,
I don't know what I'm doing half of the time, I mean, if they're there and the o
pportunity arises.
I mean I just gonna take them away, aren't I?
Queen: Off with his head!
King: Off with his head!)

Rock-a-Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

The Runaway Train
The Runaway Train T'was in the year of '89 on that old Great Western line,
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill,
The rails were froze, the winds were cold, then the air brakes wouldn't hold,
And Number 9 came roaring down the hill.
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.

Lavender's Blue
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen.
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.
Call up your friends, dilly, dilly set them to work,
Some to the plough, dilly dilly, some to the fork.
Some to the hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn,
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen
Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so.
