MOTHER GOOSE'S TEDDY BEARS
Illustrated and Adapted to Mother Goose by
FREDERICK L. CAVALLY.
Copyright 1907 The Bobbs-Merrill Company
Dear Boys and Girls.--
In the short time I have been among you, I have made friends of some of the best little boys and girls throughout the land.
I have been writing to my brothers and sisters at home telling them all about you, and they are very anxious to become acquainted also; so I sent for our family photograph album, which contains most of their pictures.
Now Old Mother Goose is a neighbor of ours, and she earns her living by writing little rhymes, tales and jingles, and as she is a very good friend of our family, she has written many verses and rhymes about us, which I know you will enjoy reading.
So you see I take great pride in presenting you this copy of our Family Photograph Album.
Your sincere friend, Teddy.
What are little Ted boys made of, made of? What are little Ted boys made of? Snaps and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails; And that's what Little Ted Boys are made of, made of.
What are little Ted girls made of, made of? What are little Ted girls made of? Sugar and spice, and all that's nice; And that's what Little Ted girls are made of, made of.
Ding dong bell! Teddy's in the well! Who put him in? Little Teddy Flinn. Who pulled him out? Little Teddy Stout. What a naughty boy was there Thus to drown poor Teddy Bear.
Little Ted Horner Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas Pie. He put in his thumb, And took out a plum, And said, "What a big bear am I!"
As I went to Bonner, I met a bear With coal-black hair, Upon my word and honor.
Old Mother Hubbard Went to the cupboard To get Little Teddy a bun; But when she got there, The cupboard was bare, So poor Little Ted had none.
She went to the baker's To buy him some bread; But when she came back, Poor Teddy was dead.
She went to the joiner's To buy him a coffin; But when she came back, Little Teddy was laughing
She took a clean dish To get him some tripe; But when she came back, He was smoking his pipe
She went to the tavern For white wine and red; But when she came back, Ted stood on his head.
She went to the ale-house To get him some beer; But when she came back, Ted sat in a chair.
She went to the barber's To buy him a wig; But when she came back, He was dancing a Jig
She went to the fruiterer's To buy him some fruit; But when she came back, Ted was playing the flute.
She went to the cobbler's To buy him some shoes; But when she came back, Ted was reading the news.
Dame Bear made a curtsey, Little Ted made a bow; Dame Bear said, "Your servant," Little Ted said, "How now."
Rain, rain, go away; Come again another day; Little Teddy wants to play.
Solomon Grundy Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Very ill on Thursday, Worse on Friday, Died on Saturday, Buried on Sunday, This is the end, Of Solomon Grundy.
Ted and Jill Went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water;
Ted Fell down, And broke his crown, And Jill came Tumbling after.
To make your candles last for aye, You wives and maids give ear-o! To put them out's the only way, Says Honest Ted Boldero.
Little Teddy Tittlemouse Lived in a little house; He caught fishes In other men's ditches.
Teddy Trot, a man of law Sold his bed and lay upon straw Sold the straw and slept on grass To buy his wife a looking-glass
Wash me and comb me, And lay me down softly, And set me on a bank to dry; That I may look pretty When Teddy comes by.
Tell-Tale Tit! Your tongue shall be slit, And all the Teddy Bears in town Shall have a little bit!
Nose, nose, jolly red nose, And what gave you that jolly red nose? Nutmegs and cinnamon spices and cloves, And they gave me this jolly red nose.
Three wise bears of Gotham Went to sea in a bowl; If the bowl had been stronger My story had been longer.
Teddy be nimble, Teddy be quick, And Teddy jump over the candlestick.
See-saw, Margery Daw, Teddy shall have a new master; He shall have but a penny a day, Because he can't work any faster
Little Ted Snooks was Fond of his books, And loved by his usher and master; But naughty Ted Spry, he got a black eye, And carries his nose in a plaster.
Cock crows in the morn, To tell us to rise, And he who lies late Will never be wise;
For early to bed, And early to rise, Makes teddy bears healthy And wealthy and wise.
