Songs and Rhymes

The Hokey Pokey

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out,
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your left hand in,
You put your left hand out,
You put your left hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about!

You put your right shoulder in,
You put your right shoulder out,
You put your right shoulder in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
(bis)

If you see a crocodile, don’t forget to scream!

Skidamarink

Skidamarink a dink, a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.

Skidamarink a dink, a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.

I love you in the morning
And in the afternoon,
I love you in the evening,
And underneath the moon.

Oh, skidamarink a dink, a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you!

Twinkle, Twinkle Traffic Light

Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light
Round the corner shining bright.
Red means stop, green means go,
And yellow means go very slow.
Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light
Round the corner shining bright.

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.
(Roll hands over each other)

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.
(Put arms together in front of you and ‘swish’ like windshield wipers)

The door on the bus goes open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The door on the bus goes open and shut
All through the town.

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins
Sittin’ on a gate
First one said:
“Oh my, it’s getting late!”
Second one said:
“There are witches in the air!”
The third one said:
“But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said:
“Let’s run and run and run!”
The fifth one said:
“I’m ready for some fun!”
So sshissh, and in went the wind and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Daddy Finger

Daddy finger, daddy finger,
Where are you?
Here I am, Here I am,
How do you do?

Mommy finger, mommy finger,
Where are you?
Here I am, Here I am,
How do you do?

Brother finger, brother finger,
Where are you?
Here I am, Here I am,
How do you do?

Sister finger, sister finger,
Where are you?
Here I am, Here I am,
How do you do?

Baby finger, baby finger,
Where are you?
Here I am, Here I am,
How do you do?
