THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW!
Before the time of indoor plumbing people threw trash out the window. That's where we get the expression, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet.
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider and sat down beside her,
And she....
CHORUS:
Threw it out the window, the window,
The second story window.
With a heave and a ho and a mighty blow,
She threw it out the window!
Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went
She... threw it out the window!
(CHORUS)
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack jumped over the candle stick.
Jack jumped high, Jack jumped low.
Jack jumped...... out the window!
(CHORUS)
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown.
And Jill came tumbling... out the window!
(CHORUS)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men...
Threw him out the window!
(CHORUS)
I love you. You love me.
We are one big family.
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you..
We threw Barney out the window!
(CHORUS)

What other Mother Goose rhymes fit this song?
The ones that fit have a similar rhythm. The rhythm is found in a lot of modern music especially Rap and Rock.
We may feel that we have outgrown nursery rhymes, but we use quotes from them all the time. If you find any uses of nursery rhymes send them in.
 | "All the President's Men" - a book about the downfall of Richard Nixon. |
| "Hey diddle, diddle! I'm playin' my fiddle." - from the Rock n' Roll song, "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry. |
Don't throw your childhood rhythms, rhymes and memories out the window! You may find them useful.

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater.
Had a wife and couldn't keep her,
Put her in a pumpkin shell, and threw her out the window.
