Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick
So she called for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick
The doctor came with his bag and his hat
And he knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
He looked at the dolly and he shook his head
And he said "Miss Polly, put her straight to bed"
He wrote out a paper for a pill, pill, pill,
"I'll be back in the morning with the bill, bill, bill."
Hop a little, jump a little
One, two, three;
Run a little, skip a little
Tap on knee;
Bend a little, stretch a little,
Nod your head;
Yawn a little, sleep a little,
In your bed.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream;
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.
Incy wincy spider climbed up the waterspout,
Down came the rain and washed the spider out,
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So Incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

This little finger on the right.
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a crab alive.

Because it bit my finger so.

This little finger on the right.
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught an eel alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.

Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.
