A NURSERY RHYME

ROSES ARE RED

VIOLETS ARE BLUE

SUGAR IS SWEET

AND SO ARE YOU

THE CHERRY TREE

ONCE I FOUND A CHERRY STONE,

I PUT IT IN THE GROUND,

AND WHEN I CAME TO LOOK AT IT,

A TINY SHOOT I FOUND.

THE SHOOT GREW UP AND UP EACH DAY,

AND SOON BECAME A TREE.

I PICKED THE ROSY CHERRIES THEN,

AND ATE THEM FOR MY TEA.

PICK A CHERRY

PICK A CHERRY FOR YOU

PICK A CHERRY FOR ME

IT’ S TIME TO PICK CHERRIES

FROM THE CHRRY TREE.

PICK AN ORANGE FOR YOU

PICK AN ORANGE FOR ME

IT’ S TIME TO PICK ORANGES

FROM THE ORANGE TREE.

PICK AN APPLE FOR YOU

PICK AN APPLE FOR ME

IT’S TIME TO PICK APPLES

FROM THE APPLE TREE.

IN A WOOD THERE GREW A TREE

IN A WOOD THERE GREW A TREE,

THE BEST TREE, YOU EVER DID SEE

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND, ALL AROUND.

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND.

AND ON THIS TREE THERE WAS A BRANCH,

THE BEST BRANCH YOU EVER DID SEE,

THE BRANCH WAS ON THE TREE,

THE TREE WAS IN THE WOOD,

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND,

ALL AROUND,

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND.

AND ON THIS BRANCH THERE WAS A NEST,

THE BEST NEST YOU EVER DID SEE,

THE NEST WAS ON THE BRANCH,

THE BRANCH WAS ON THE TREE,

THE TREE WAS IN THE WOOD,

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND, ALL AROUND,

AND THE GREEN LEAVES GREW ALL AROUND.
