Songs we are singing 2011/2012

Hello to everyone, and how are you today ?
We’ve come to our music time to laugh and sing and play
And when your up your up
And when your down your down
And when you only half way up your neither up nor down
So roll your hands so slowly
And roll them oh so fast
Give your hands a clap clap clap
And fold them in your lap tap tap

TINGALAYO

Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come
Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come
My donkey walk, my donkey talk
My donkey eat with a knife and fork
My donkey walk, my donkey talk
My donkey eat with a knife and fork

Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come
Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come
My donkey eat, my donkey sleep
My donkey kick with his two hind feet
My donkey eat, my donkey sleep
My donkey kick with his two hind feet

Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come
Tingalayo, come, little donkey, come

BUMPS ON A HOLLOW LOG

(tune: The Old Gray Mare)

Here we sit like
Bumps on a hollow log,
Bumps on a hollow log,
Bumps on a hollow log.
Here we sit like
Bumps on a hollow log,
Waitin' for the holidays
Waitin' for the holidays
Waitin' for the holidays,
Oh, here we sit like
Bumps on a hollow log,
Waitin' for the holidays!

DO RE MI

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO, SO DO

MISS MARY MACK

Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.

They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
And they didn't come back, back, back
'Til the 4th of July, ly, ly!
 

MAKE NEW FRIENDS

Make new friends,
   but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.

A circle is round,
it has no end.
That's how long,
I want to be your friend.

FIVE LITTLE FISHES (fingerplay)

Five little fishies, swimming in a pool
The first one said, "The pool is cool."
The second one said, "The pool is deep."
The third one said, "I want to sleep."
The fourth one said, "Let's take a dip."
The fifth one said, "I spy a ship."
Fisher boat comes,
Line goes kersplash
Away the five little fishies dash

 

IF YOU SHOULD MEET A CROCODILE

If you should meet a crocodile on a spring-time day.
What would you do?  What would you say?
I'd say, "Good morning Crocodile, how do you do?
I'm glad to meet you crocodile, I'd like to dance with you."

If you should meet an elephant on a summer's day.
What would you do?  What would you say?
I'd say, "Good morning Elephant, how do you do?
I'm glad to meet you elephant, I'd like to dance with you."

If you should meet a stinky skunk on an autumn day.
What would you do?  What would you say?
I'd say, "Good morning Stinky Skunk, how do you do?
I'm glad to meet you stinky skunk, I'd like to dance with you."

If you should meet a polar bear on a winter day.
What would you do?  What would you say?
I'd say, "Good morning Polar Bear, how do you do?
I'm glad to meet you polar bear, I'd like to dance with you."

SING A RAINBOW

Red and yellow and pink and green
Orange and purple and blue

I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your eyes,
and sing everything you see.

You can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing along with me.
 

Christmas songs 2011

JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
 

RING THE BELLS

Ring, ring, ring the bells,
Ring them loud and clear,
To tell the children everywhere
that Christmas time is here.
 

LITTLE BELLS

The little bells of Christmas say,
Ding, dong, ding, dong,
The little bells of Christmas say,
Ding, ding Dong
 

CHRISTMAS DAY WILL SOON BE HERE

Christmas Day will soon be here
And I can hardly wait!
Christmas Day will soon be here
And I can hardly wait!
Santa will be coming,
Soon he well be coming,
Christmas day will soon be here

RUDOLPH

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names,
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say
„Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
„Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
You’ll go down in history”
 

HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus lane.
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the rein.
Bells are ringing, Children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and
Say your pray’rs,
Cause Santa Clause comes tonight.
 

ANGEL BAND

There was one, there were two,
There were three little angels
There were four, there were five,
There were six little angels
There were seven there were eight
There were nine little angels
Ten little angels in that band
Oh, wasn’t that  a band Christmas morning,
Christmas morning, Christmas Morning
Oh, wasn’t that  a band Christmas morning,
Christmas morning soon

Autumn 2011

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, all day long!

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish

The door on the bus goes open and shut

The people on the bus go up and down

The engine on the bus goes broom, broom, broom

The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa,

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

So the eency weency spider went up the spout again

His name is my name too.

Whenever we go out,

The people always shout,

There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.

Quiet voices, quiet feet

Loud voices, loud feet

Loud voices, loud feet

Loud voices, loud feet

Only when we go outside

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,

And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!
