無知的西蒙
Simple Simon
無知的西蒙遇見一個賣派的商人
正要趕往集市；
無知的西蒙對賣派的商人說：
“讓我嘗嘗你的東西。 ”
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Let me taste your ware."
商人對無知的西蒙說：
“先讓我看看你的便士吧。”
無知的西蒙對商人說：
“其實我身無分文。”
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
"Show me first your penny."
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
"Indeed I have not any."
他去抓小鳥，
並認爲自己不會失敗，
因爲他有一把鹽，
撒在它的尾巴上。
He went to catch a dickey bird,
And thought he could not fail,
Because he'd got a little salt,
To put upon his tail
他去取小鳥的窩，
那個築在一根大樹枝上的鳥窩；
樹枝斷了西蒙掉下來
落在肮髒的泥沼裏。
He went to take a bird's nest,
Was built upon a bough;
The branch gave way and Simon fell
Into a dirty slough.
他去打野鴨，
但是野鴨飛走了；
西蒙說，我打不中它，
因爲他不呆在那裏。
He went to shoot a wild duck,
But wild duck flew away;
Say Simon, I can't hit him,
Because he will not stay.
無知的西蒙去釣魚，
想要釣一條鯨魚；
然而他所擁有的水
都在他母親的水桶裏。
Simple Simon went a-fishing,
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got
Was in his mother's pail.
無知的西蒙去打獵，
想要打中一只野兔；
他騎著驢穿過街道，
那裏找不到一只野兔。
Simple Simon went a-hunting,
For to catch a hare;
He rode an ass about the streets,
But couldn't find one there.
他去吃蜂蜜，
從一只餐桌上的芥末罐子；
他咬著自己的舌頭直到哭出來，
這就是他吃到的全部。
He went for to eat honey,
Out of the mustard pot;
He bit his tongue until he cried,
That was all the good he got.
他去騎頭花斑牛
可母牛還有頭小牛；
母牛甩他在地上，
惹的人們笑哈哈。
He went to ride a spotted cow
That had a little calf;
She threw him down upon the ground,
Which made the people laugh.
一次西蒙做了個大雪球，
把它帶回來烤一烤；
把它放在火前面，
雪球一會兒不見了。
Once Simon made a great snowball
Once Simon made a great snowball,
And brought it in to roast;
He laid it down before the fire,
And soon the ball was lost.
他到冰上去滑冰
在冰還能支撐前；
接著他陷入水中直到膝蓋，
可憐的西蒙睜大了眼。
He went to slide upon the ice
Before the ice would bear;
Then he plunged in above his knees,
Which made poor Simon stare.
他用黑色的鞋油來洗澡，
因爲他沒有肥皂；
然後他對媽媽說：
“我現在很漂亮，我希望。”
He washed himself with blacking ball,
Because he had no soap;
Then said unto his mother,
"I'm a beauty now, I hope."
無知的西蒙去看看
李子是不是長在薊上；
手被刺傷了好幾次，
可憐的西蒙唿哨著。
Simple Simon went to look
If plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle.
他用篩網取水，
但是水很快就漏光了。
可憐而又無知的西蒙啊
永遠地再見了
He went for water in a sieve,
But soon it all ran through.
And now poor Simple Simon
Bids you all adieu.

一个没出息的男子
他的手指到处找不到
懒得动手把他埋在坟墓里。
他把头滚落到床下
四肢散落在房间里。
There was a man,

a very untidy man,
Whose fingers could nowhere to be fonud

He had rolled his head far underneath the bed;

性格扭曲的人
有个性格扭曲的人
走在一条长一里的扭曲的路上
手里那着扭曲的六便士
踏在扭曲的台阶上
他买了一只扭曲的猫
猫捉了一只扭曲的老鼠
他们一起住在扭曲的小房子里

砰！责任被推托(黄鼠狼被赶走了)。
一便士买了线轴，
一便士买了针。
这就这样花完了。
砰！责任被推托。
来来往往的城市街道，
飞进飞出的鹰，
这就这样花完了。
砰！责任被推托。
All Around The Mulberry Bush
All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought ’t was all in fun.
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes.
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Up and down the City Road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.
