Me Nan sang a song.
She taught me how to sing it
When I was a nipper only three.
A silly little song,
She always liked to sing it
When she used to dandle me on her knee.
Me Nan's little song,
It only takes a minute,
So see if you enjoy it like me.
Now on Monday Jack set off to the market.
On Tuesday he forgot the way to go.
Oh, no!
On Wednesday he knew he wouldn't make it
So sitting up a tree he had a little doze 'til
He woke up
As the sun rose on a bright and sunny Thursday morning.
Turning back, Jack spent Friday on the track.
On Saturday he stepped through his front door.
On Sunday both his shoes fell off his feet
So he had to go to market for some more.
Now when she was young,
A tiny little nipper,
A sweet little girl of only three,
She learned this little song
From her old Nan before her,
Who taught how to sing it like she taught me.
Me Nan's little song,
It only took a minute.
She heard it as she bounced on her knee.
[Chorus]
And now Nanna's gone,
I still can hear her sing it
When I was a nipper on her knee.
And many years from now,
When I'm as old as she was,
I hope I will dandle a child of three.
Me Nan's silly song, It only takes a minute,
So see if you can sing it with me.
[Chorus]
And that was me Nan's song!
