All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot
Off we go!

This Is The Way The Ladies Rid Lyrics

This is the way the ladies ride:
Tri, tre, tre, tree,
Tri, tre, tre, tree!
This is the way the ladies ride:
Tri, tre, tre, tree, tri-tre-tre-tree!

This is the way the gentlemen ride:
Gallop-a-trot,
Gallop-a-trot!
This is the way the gentlemen ride:
Gallop-a-gallop-a-trot!

This is the way the farmers ride:
Hobbledy-hoy,
Hobbledy-hoy!
This is the way the farmers ride:
Hobbledy hobbledy-hoy!
And down into a Ditch!

Music Makers April (Bugs)

Bugs
to the tune..(are you sleeping)

Big bugs, small bugs
Big bugs, small bugs
See them crawl, on the wall
Creepy creepy crawling..
Never never falling
bugs,bugs,bugs!

Head and thorax, abdomen, abdomen,
To the tune "Head & Shoulders"

Head and thorax, abdomen, abdomen,
Head and thorax, abdomen, abdomen,
Antennae, wings and six legs too,
Don't let this bug land on you,
Shoo, bug, shoo.

Five busy honey bees

Five busy honey bees were resting in the sun.
The first one said, "Let us have some fun."
The second one said, "Where shall it be?"
The third one said, "In the honey tree."
The fourth one said, "Let's make some honey sweet."
The fifth one said, "With pollen on our feet."
The five little busy bees sang their buzzing tune,
As they worked in the beehive all that afternoon.
Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz!

Insects All Around
Improvise a tune or sing to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

Lady bugs and butterflies,
Buzzing bees up in the sky.
Teeny, tiny little ants,
Crawling up and down the plants
Many insects can be found
In the sky and on the ground.


I'm a Butterfly added 9-9-98 Original Author Unknown
Sung to: "Skip to My Lou"

I'm a butterfly, come fly with me
I'm a butterfly, come fly with me
I'm a butterfly, come fly with me
Come fly with me, my darling
A butterfly, come drink nectar with me
A butterfly, come drink nectar with me
A butterfly, come drink nectar with me
Drink nectar with me, my darling.
A butterfly, now sleep like me
A butterfly, now sleep like me
A butterfly, now sleep like me
Come sleep like me, my darling.

Teasing Mr. Crocodile

Five little monkeys
(5 fingers held over other arm (4 for next verse, etc))
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mr. Crocodile,
(teasing faces, hands up to face like moose antlers or one hand in front of nose)
"You can't catch me."
Along came Mr. Crocodile,
(finger up to mouth like SHHHH)
Quiet as can be
SNAP
(Both hands clap together like a crocodile's mouth)

Baa, Baa Black Sheep

Baa, Baa, black sheep,
have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir -
three bags full:

One for the master,
one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
that lives down the lane.

Hey Diddle Diddle

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain
(tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow)

The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see

To see what he could see,
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Little Bo-peep fell fast asleep,
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined for to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left all their tails behind them.

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece as white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go!
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.

Where has my dog gone
Oh where oh where has my little dog gone oh where oh where could he be with his ears cut short and his tail cut long oh where oh where could he be

Six little ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew
fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
but the one little dick with the feather on his back .
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!
quack, quack, quack!
quack, quack, quack!
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!
