Baa baa black sheep, Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full.
One for the master, One for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Baa baa white sheep, Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, Three needles full
One to mend a jumper, One to mend a frock
And one for the little girl with holes in her socks.
Baa baa grey sheep, Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, Three bags full
One for the kitten, One for the cats
And one for the guinea pigs to knit some
woolly hats.
