Mother, father, baby, oh…

Brother, sister, you can see
UVWXYZ
All the people in my family.
The Irish blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
The family
This is my father,
This is my mother,
This is my sister,
This is my brother,
This is my uncle,
This is my aunt Lily,
This is my cousin
And this is me.
Hand in hand
Father, mother,
Sister, brother.
Hand on hand
With one another!
Mistletoe
Mommy, Daddy, quick!
Let’s go and stand
Beneath the mistletoe.
You kiss me and I kiss you.
Here comes Sister,
Kiss her too.
Mommy, Daddy, quick!
Let’s go and stand
Beneath the mistletoe.
I’m a little girl
I am a little girl,
Yes, that’s me;
And my hair is black
As you can see.
I’m a boy
I’m a boy,
And I’m ten.
I like to play
With my brother Dan.
I have two sisters
I have two sisters
And a brother,
And I’m very, very, very
Fond of my brother!
That’s his brother
This is Jim Brown
And that’s his brother.
They very dearly
Love each other.
The quarrel
I quarreled with my brother,
I don’t know what about,
One thing led to another
And somehow we fell out.
The start of it was slight,
The end of it was strong,
He said he was right,
I knew he was wrong!
We hated one another.
The afternoon turned black.
Then suddenly my brother
Thumped me on the back,
And said, «Oh, come along!
We can’t go on all night –
I was in the wrong.»
So he was in the right.
Grandma’s spectacles
These are Grandma’s spectacles,
This is Grandma’s hat.
This is the way she folds her hands,
And lays them in her lap.
Letters
Letters, letters,
Every day letters:
A letter for Daddy,
A letter for Mummy,
A letter for Nelly,
And a letter for me,
But no letters at all
For our little Paul.
