Georgie Porgie Lyrics

First published in 1841. A well-known English nursery rhyme about a boy named Georgie who kisses the girls and runs away. Best for ages 3–7. Modern preschool teachers often use this short rhyme as a springboard for discussions about consent and respecting others' personal space — the girls cry because Georgie kissed without asking, and he runs from accountability when his peers arrive. It's one of the earliest age-appropriate openings for the concept that physical affection requires permission.

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.
