Bee, a bee, a bumblebee
Stung a man upon his knee ужалил
And a hog upon his snout,
I'll be dogged if you ain't out!

Hinx, minx, the old witch winks,
The cat begins to fry,
Nobody's home but
Jumping Joan Father, mother, and I
Stick, stock, stone dead.
Blind men can't see,
Every knave will have a slave,
You and I must be he!

One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sell'.
***
One for sorrow,
two for joy,
three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
five for silver,
six for gold,
seven for a secret,
never to be told,
eight for a wish,
nine for a kiss,
ten for a time
of joy ours bliss.
***
One for sadness, two for mirth;
Three for marriage, four for birth;
Five for laughing, six for crying:
Seven for sickness, eight for dying;
Nine for silver, ten for gold;
Eleven a secret that will never be told.

Intry, mintry, cutry, corn
Apple seed and apple thorn
Wire, briar, limber, lock
Five geese in a flock
One flew east, one flew west,
and one flew over the cuckoo's nest
Out, with a dirty dishcloth, out!
***
One for death and two for birth,
Three for wind and four for earth,
Five for fire, six for rain,
Seven's joy and eight is pain,
Nine to go, ten back again!
***
One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, close the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, close the gate
Nine, ten, home again
***
And it's one, two, three, four
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven, eight
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Inka Binka bottle of ink,
The cork fell off and you stink,
Not because you're dirty,
Not because you're clean,
Just because ya kissed a (boy or girl)
Behind a magazine and You are it.
