Baa, Baa, Black Sheep — Lyrics

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master, and one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Sing it together

Nursery rhymes are one of the earliest and best ways to build language. Their rhythm and rhyme help babies and toddlers hear the sounds inside words — the very skill (phonological awareness) that later powers reading. Sing Baa, Baa, Black Sheep at bath time, in the car, or before bed, and let your child fill in the last word of each line.
