I just started this
I will add more as I have time!

Snowing

Way up high in the winter sky,
(raise hands above head)

Two little snowflakes, caught my eye.
(point up)

Down to the ground they fell without a sound.
(flutter hands down to ground)

And before very long, It was snowing all around!
(turn in circle with hands fluttering)

The Lollipop Tree

One fine day in early spring,
I played a funny trick.
Right in the yard behind our house,
I planted a lollipop stick.

Then every day I watered it well
and watched it carefully.
I hoped one day that stick would
grow to be a lollipop tree.

Chorus:
Ah ha ha ho, Oh ho ho what a place to be
Under my lollipop, lollipop,lollipop,
Lolli-lolli-lollipop Tree.
Under my lollipop, lollipop,lollipop,
Lolli-lolli-lollipop Tree.

Then one day I woke to find a very lovely sight.
A tree all full of lollipops had grown in the dead of night.
Well I sat beneath that wonderful tree,
and looked up with a grin.
And when I opened up my mouth
A lollipop dropped right in.

Chorus

Winter came and days grew cold, as winter days will do.
And on my tree, my lovely tree, not one little lollipop grew.
(cry)
From every branch an icicle hung,
the limbs were bare as bones.
But when I broke those icicles off,
The turned into ice cream cones.

Chorus

Hop Like A Bunny

Hop like a bunny.
(hop with feet together)

Run like a dog.
(walk on hands and knees)

Walk like an elephant.
(hold one arm in front like a trunk, and
sway back and forth)

Jump like a frog.
(squat down with hands on floor and hop)

Swim like a goldfish.
(hold palms together and move hands
in swimming motion)

Fly like a bird.
(flap arms up and down)

Then sit right down
And don't say a single word.
(sit down on floor or chair)

Timmy Turtle

I had a little turtle,
his name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
to see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water,
he ate up all the soap.
And now he's home sick in bed,
with bubbles in his throat.

He drank up all the water,
he ate up all the soap.
He tried to eat the bathtub,
but it wouldn't fit down his throat.

Little Peter Rabbit
(sung to battle hymn of the republic)

Little Peter Rabbit had a
fly up on his ear.
Little Peter Rabbit had a
fly up on his ear.
Little Peter Rabbit had a
fly up on his ear.
and he flicked til it flew
away.

or

John Brown's baby had a
cold upon its chest.
(Three times)

And he rubbed it with camphorated oil.

APPLE SONG
This song is sung to the tune of  "B-I-N-G-O"

I know a fruit that's good to eat and
apple is it's name, oh
A-P-P-L-E, A-P-P-L-E, A-P-P-L-E
And apple is it's name oh.

I know a fruit that's good to eat and
apple is it's name, oh
crunch-P-P-L-E, crunch-P-P-L-E, crunch-P-P-L-E
And apple is it's name oh.

I know a fruit that's good to eat and
apple is it's name, oh
crunch-crunch-P-L-E, crunch-crunch-P-L-E, crunch-crunch-P-L-E
And apple is it's name oh.

and so on until all crunches!

Down By The Bay

Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
back to my home, I dare not go.
For if I do, my mother will say,
"Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail
Down by the bay?"

Goose kissing a moose?
Fly wearing a tie?
Bear combing his hair?
Llamas wearing pajamas?
Grouse sewing a blouse?
Did you ever have a time when
you couldn't make a rhyme?

Where is Thumbkin?

Where is thumbkin?
Where is Thumbkin?
(put hands behind back)

Here I am; here I am.
(show one thumb and
then the other)

How are you today sir?
(bend one thumb)

Very well I thank you.
(bend other thumb)

Run away, Run away.
(hide hands behind back)

Repeat the rhyme with
Pointer, Tall one, Ring finger, Pinky and then all fingers.

Elephant Song

One elephant went out to play,
Out on a spiders web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
he called for the other elephants to come.

"HEY ELEPHANTS!!!"
(beat floor)

continue up to five......or whatever until the web breaks

GARBAGE SONG

We're going to ***** house, to ***** house,
to ***** house,
We're going to ***** house to pick up the
garbage cans.
(insert children's names)

Jump down turn it around,
pickin' up the garbage,
Jump down turn it around,
Put it in the truck.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
grinding up the garbage,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Put it in the truck.

Continue until you've said eveyones names.

A Hunting We Will Go

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
 Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go
  A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
    We'll catch a fox and put him in a box
And then we'll let him go

   A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
   Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go
    A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
      We'll catch a fish and put him on a dish
     And then we'll let him go

A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go
  A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
    We'll catch a bear and cut his hair
       And then we'll let him go

   A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
   Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go
   A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
   We'll catch a pig and dance a little jig
     And then we'll let him go

   A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
      Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go
      A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go
      We'll catch a giraffe and make him laugh

Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great to be Crazy?

A horse and a flea and three blind mice
 Sat on a curbstone shooting dice
  The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
"Whoops," said the flea, "There's a horse on me!"

Chorus:
  Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
  Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
 Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Way down South where bananas grow
  A flea stepped on an elephant's toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
      "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

    Chorus

Way up North where there's ice and snow
    There lived a penguin and his name was Joe
        He got so tired of black and white
    He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!

   Chorus

Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
        The more you wear 'em the better they get
          And you put 'em in the water and they don't get wet!

  Chorus

Called myself on the telephone
   Just to hear that golden tone
  Asked myself out for a date
 Said be ready 'bout half-past eight!

   Chorus

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?
