Determined for to find them.

For they’d left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo Peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails, side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.

And over the hillocks she raced,
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
That each tail should be properly placed.

You can’t ride in my little red wagon
The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’
You can’t step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain’t my fault
When I walk, when I talk, what I say
It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be
I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on
Well, they all know what they see
And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong
If some shakin’ goes on, ha
From the middle of the map to the third coast
Puts some boots in your ass, toes in the sand
Not worried ’bout no city folk
With their fancy cars and their downtown bars
Oh no
Some of us like to get a little loud
Get a little crazy, get a little lazy
In the middle of nowhere
Well, you know
You can’t ride in my little red wagon
The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’
You can’t step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain’t my fault
When I walk, when I talk, what I say
It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be
I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on
Well, they all know what they see
And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong
If some shakin’ goes on
When you go a little off-roading
You can always come back, backsliding
But if you come back from where you been
What you get is what you get and I’m gone
You can’t ride in my little red wagon
The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’
You can’t step to this backyard swagger
You know it ain’t my fault
When I walk, when I talk, what I say
It’s just the way that I am and the way that I be
I got a big-time reputation of gettin’ it on
Well, they all know what they see
And they all like it to be, but that don’t mean it’s wrong
If some shakin’ goes on, ha
If some shakin’ goes on, ha
If some shakin’ goes on
If some shakin’ goes on, ha
If some shakin’ goes on

Simple Simon went a-fishing
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got
Was in his mother’s pail.
Simple Simon went to look
If plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much,
Which made poor Simon whistle.
Simple Simon went a-hunting
For to catch a hare;
All the bushes and the briers
Took his coat and shirt.
Simple Simon went to school,
But it was no use, for still,
He went to school as I did too,
And when he’d been a week or two,
He said he’d learned his fill.

“Yankee Doodle”
Lagu ini adalah lagu patriotik Amerika yang terkenal dan sering dinyanyikan dalam perayaan dan peringatan nasional. Meskipun beberapa kata dan frasa dalam liriknya mungkin terdengar aneh, lagu ini adalah bagian penting dari sejarah musik Amerika.
Yankee Doodle went to town,
A-riding on a pony;
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it Macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy;
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.
“You’re a Grand Old Flag”
Lagu ini adalah lagu patriotik Amerika yang merayakan semangat nasionalisme dan cinta terhadap bendera Amerika. Ini sering dinyanyikan dalam perayaan nasional dan acara patriotik lainnya.
You’re a grand old flag,
You’re a high-flying flag,
And forever in peace may you wave.
You’re the emblem of The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true
‘Neath the Red, White, and Blue,
Where there’s never a boast or brag.
But should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
