Come on admit it, every sports fan who has children loves to see their kids donning their favorite team's apparel and fanatically following each and every one of their favorite sports personalities. Mind you, sports franchises and clubs all over the world have made millions, if not billions already, by just selling merchandise for kids.

But what I've tried to put together here in the interest of sports fans with children is mixing education with sport. Now nursery rhymes are one of the first things your children learn to hum or sing, even before they can start talking coherently. So here's to all the fanatic sports dads and moms who would rather sing these nursery rhymes with their kids as compared to the original versions.

Baa, Baa, Fed Weeps

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 01:  Roger Federer of Switzerland shows his emotion during the trophy presentation after his men's final match against Rafael Nadal of Spain during day fourteen of the 2009 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on  February 1,

Baa, Baa, Fed Weeps,
Have you any tissues?
Yes Rafa, yes Rafa,
Three packs from which to choose.

One for the Masters,
One for the Slams,
And one for the time when,
You win the calendar Slam!

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Cutler

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Cutler,

How I wonder, is your fur,

A Mile above the sea so high,

Like a bullet, your throws used to fly,

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Cutler,

How I wonder, is your fur.

PS: For those who didn't get the fur bit, he's now a 'Bear' and bears have fur, of course.

Itsy Bitsy Diffuser

The Itsy Bitsy Diffuser,

Climbed up the Brawn GP car,

Down came the rain,

And Brawn was ahead by far,

Out came the sun,

And Kimi crashed his Ferrari,

So the Itsy Bitsy Diffuser,

Re-climbed the Brawn car in a hurry.

Humpty Bayern

Humpty Bayern, sat at the top,

Humpty Bayern, then turned in a flop,

All the Kaiser's choices,

And all of Klinsmann,

Couldn't take Bayern to the top again.

These Blind Batsmen

NEW ZEALAND - MARCH 11:  South Africa's Shaun Pollock is run out on 10 runs by New Zealand's Daniell Vettori on day two of the first cricket test played between New Zealand and South Africa at Westpac Park in Hamilton, New Zealand, Thursday, March 11th, 2

These blind batsmen. These blind batsmen,

See how they run. See how they run.

They all run without hearing the call.

They keep napping and watching the ball.

Funniest way to lose their wicket of all.

For these blind batsmen.

Stamford Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Stamford Bridge is falling down,
My dear Roman.

Build it up with "Special" Jose,
Special Jose, special Jose,
Build it up with "Special" Jose,
My dear Roman.

Special Jose will run away,
Run away, run away,
Special Jose will run away,
My dear Roman.

Build it up with Luiz Scolari,
Luiz Scolari, Luiz Scolari,
Build it up with Luiz Scolari,
My dear Roman.

Luiz Scolari will bend and bow
Bend and bow, bend and bow
Luiz Scolari will bend and bow
My dear Roman.

Build it up with Mr. Guus,
Mr. Guus, Mr. Guus
Build it up with Mr. Guus,
My dear Roman.

Mr. Guus will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away,
Mr. Guus will be stolen away,
My dear Roman.

Barry Had a Little 'Roid

SAN FRANCISCO - SEPTEMBER 26:  Barry Bonds #25 of the San Francisco Giants flies out during his final home at bat as a Giant against the San Diego Padres during a Major League Baseball game on September 26, 2007 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, California.

Barry had a little 'roid,
Little 'roid, little 'roid,
Barry had a little 'roid,
It juiced him up, ready to go.

And every time that Barry hit,
Barry hit, Barry hit,
Every time that Barry hit.
The ball disappeared up the rows.

It took him over to court one day,
Court one day, court one day,
It took him over to court one day,
As home-run king, he still rules.
