Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see an old lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes.

Hey, diddle, diddle!
    The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
    The little dog laughed
                        To see such sport,
                And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
  Baker's man!
So I do, master,
  As fast as I can.
    Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
 Put it in the oven
 For Tommy and me.

How many miles is it to Babylon?--
    Threescore miles and ten.
Can I get there by candle-light?--
    Yes, and back again.
If your heels are nimble and light,
You may get there by candle-light.

What are little boys made of, made of?
What are little boys made of?
"Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails;

               And that's what little boys are made of."

       What are little girls made of, made of?
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice, and all that's nice;
And that's what little girls are made of."

Happy song are you?^^ I first read this rhythm in Manga Happy Talk by Fumika Okano, and they have made me fall in love. The song is really imaginative, this combination based on Happy Talk version.
