Monkeys on the Bed |
Five little monkeys jumpin' on the bed.
One fell off and broke his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed!"
(Count down..4..3..2..1..)

Little Bunny Foo Foo |
(with actions)
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Runnin' through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin' them on the head.
Then down came the good fairy and said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don't want to see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
And boppin' them on the head.
You have 3 more chances
Before I turn you into a goon!"
(Repeat and count down chances…2…1…)
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Runnin' through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin' them on the head.
Then down cam e the good fairy and said,
"Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don't want to see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
And boppin' them on the head.
You have NO more chances
So I'm going to turn you into a goon!"
*POOOOF!!!!* (do action with sound)

Do as I'm doing |
(follow along with appropriate actions)
Do as I'm doing,
Follow, follow me.
Do as I'm doing,
Follow, follow me
If I do it high or low,
If I do it fast or slow.
Do as I'm doing,
Follow, follow me.
Do as I'm doing,
Follow, follow me.

My Hands |
(follow along with appropriate actions)
My hands upon my head I place,
On my shoulders
On my face.
At my waist and by my side,
And then behind me they will hide.
Then I can raise them high, high, high,
And let my fingers fly, fly, fly.
Then "clap, clap, clap" and "1, 2, 3,"
And see how quiet they can be.

The Wheels on the Bus |
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 through the town.
The wipers on the bus go "swish swish swish"
"Swish swish swish"
"Swish swish swish."
The wipers on the bus go "swish swish swish"
All through the town.
The driver on the bus goes "Move on back."
"Move on back."
"Move on back."
The driver on the bus goes "Move on back,"
All through the town.
The people on the bus go up and down,
Up and down,
Up and down.
The people on the bus go up and down
All through the town.
The money on the bus goes "clink clink clink,"
"Clink clink clink,"
"Clink clink clink."
The money on the bus goes "clink clink clink"
All through the town.

Princess Pat |
The Princess Pat lived in a tree.
She sailed across the seven seas.
She sailed across the channel too.
And she brought with her a Rigabamboo!
Chorus:
A Rigabamboo! Now what is that?
It's something made by the Princess Pat.
It's red and gold, and purple too.
That's why it's called a Rigabamboo!
Now Captain Jack had a mighty fine crew.
They sailed across the channel too.
Their ship did sink, and so will you,
If you don't take, a Rigabamboo!
Chorus.

Canoe Song |
There's a boy and a girl in a tippy canoe,
And the moon is shining all around.
As he dips his paddle,
It doesn't even make a sound!
So they talked and they talked.
Till the moon went in.
He said, "You better kiss me,
Or get out and swim!"
So you know what to do
In a tippy canoe,
When the moon is shining all a —
The moon is shining all a —
The moon is shining all around!
Get out and swim!
Variation: Stay in and kiss

Bananas |
Be bananas. Be, be bananas.
Be bananas. Be, be bananas.
Peel bananas. Peel, peel bananas.
Peel bananas. Peel, peel bananas.
Go bananas! Go! Go! Bananas!
Go bananas! Go! Go! Bananas!
Stop!
