My house
In my bedroom I go to sleep,
From the window my friends can peep.
In my kitchen my mama cooks,
Oh! How good the cake looks!
(Yummy, yummy, yummy)
In the living room I watch T.V and play,
I sit with my family everyday.
When I am hungry, to the dining room I run,
Eating together is so much fun.
When I need to be clean and nice,
I run to the bathroom, Oh! The water is cold as ice!
(Shiver, shiver, shiver)

There was an old women
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some soup
And slices of bread
She hugged them and kissed them
And put them to bed
