Nursery rhyme (comptine in french) are playing an important role in today's children education. Maybe it'll bother some of you because they're in french, but here are the ones that I used to sing when I was still a little kid, both in their original and translated versions.

A
Ah les crocrocro
Ah! vous dirai-je maman
Ainsi font, font, font
Alouette
Am stram gram
Au clair de la lune
A la claire fontaine

C
Cadet Rousselle

F
Fais Do Do (creole)
Fais dodo Colas mon p'tit frère
Frère Jacques

I
Il était un petit navire

J
J'ai perdu le dos de ma clarinette
Je vais a l'etable

L
La mère Michel
Le bon roi Dagobert
Lundi matin

M
Maman les p'tits bateaux
Meunier tu dors

P
Promenons nous dans les bois

S
Savez vous planter les choux
Sur le pont d'Avignon

T
Trois p'tits chats

U
Une poule sur un mur
Une souris verte

V
V'là l'bon vent
