[i]Oranges and lemons say the bells of Saint Clemons.
You owe me five Farthings ! Say the bells of Saint Martins.
When will you pay me ? Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When i grow rich. Say the bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be ? Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know. Say the great bells of Bow.[/i]
[i]Here comes a candle to light you to bed.
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head !
Chip. Chop. Chip. Chop. The last man's dead ![/i]
Rock-a-by baby on the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
Ring a ring o Rosie
A pocket full of posies
Atishoo. Atishoo we all fall down.
Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the Farmer's wife
Who cut off their tales with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a thing in your life
As three blind mice.
Yep. There's plenty of them !

@SW-User The weird thing about them is that there never seems to be a definitive answer as to just what exactly they mean !
Plenty of theories. All given by supposed experts in their fields of history or folklore or middle-ages song etc.
And i think that just adds to the creepiness of them.

@Picklebobble2 yes you’re right. Incidentally if you whisper them they’re creepier.
