Ring a ring o' roses
A pocket full of posies
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.

Ting a ting o' tulips
A handful of red tulips
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.

Ding a ding o' daisy
A bundle of white daisies
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.

Fing a fing o' flowers
Pretty flowers under the tree.
We all jump up
1, 2, 3!

How does your garden grow?
With silver bells,
And cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

I'm a Little Flower Bulb

Original Author Unknown
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little flower bulb, small and brown,
Buried in the cool, dark ground.
As the days grow warmer, watch and see,
I'll sprout through the earth -- Yippee!

Growing, growing, growing every day,
Sprouting leaves that gently sway,
Next comes a bud and then a flower,
A face to shine 'neath sun and showers.
