Abadabadabada

Abadabadabada said the chimp to the monkey

Abadabadabada said the monkey to the chimp

All day long they chatter away, all day long they are happy and gay.

Sining and swinging in a honky tonky way.

Abadabadabada means monkey I love but you

Abadabadabada in monkey talk means chimp I love you too.

And the big baboon one night in June

Married them and very soon they went upon

their Abadabadabada honeymoon.

Alice (or Sally) the Camel

Alice the camel has five humps.



So ride, Alice, ride.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Alice the camel has four humps.

Alice the camel has three humps.

Alice the camel has two humps.

Alice the camel has no humps.



‗Cause Alice is a horse, of course!

Actions: This classic children‘s song works well to reinforce counting. When done in a group,

everyone should get in as close to a circle as possible and put their arms over the shoulders of

the people next to them. Then during the saying of each number of humps everyone bends at the

knees. During the lines boom, boom, boom then everyone bangs hips against each other. Nothing

dangerous of course. Or to do individually, show five fingers when you sing ―5 humps‖, then four,

three, etc. Swat your hips from side to side on the ―boom, boom, boom‖.

Animal Fair

I went to the animal fair,

The birds and the beast were there,

The big baboon by the light of the moon was climbing his auburn hair,

You should have seen the monk; he sat on the elephant‘s trunk,

The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees, and what became of monk, the monk, the monk?

Suggestion: ―The monk, the monk‖ can be sung continuously by a few while others sing the song

again.

And a little white whale on the go.

Froggie in the Bathtub

I was playin with my froggie in the bathtub

On one very cold and rainy day

I was playin with my froggie in the bathtub

When, woops, he jumped and got away

My froggie is swimmin' in the bathtub

If you've ever been sittin' there you'll know

So if you feel a little splash (Woo!)

Or hear a little croak (Ribbet!)

It's just my froggie doin' the backstroke

Someone thought they saw him in the laundry

Once he ate up half the cookie jar

But playing in the depths of the bathtub

It's his absolute favorite place by far

Well that is the story of my froggie

He may not ever be seen again

So when you're sittin' in the bathtub

Doin what ya gotta do

Just remember my little song

And remember my froggie too.

On Top Of My Pizza

On top of my pizza

All covered with sauce

Could not find the mushrooms

I think they got lost.

I looked in the closet

I looked in the sink

I looked in the cup that

Held my cola drink.

I looked in the saucepan

Right under the lid

No matter where I looked

Those mushrooms stayed hid.

Next time you make pizza

I‘m begging you, please

Do not give me mushrooms

But just plain old cheese.

On Top Of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed. (Ah –choo)

It rolled off the table and onto the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden and under a bush

And them my poor meatball was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be

And early next summer it grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss

It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese,

Hold onto your meatball and don‘t ever sneeze!

Penguins in a line

Ten, ten,

I want to come again!

The Bear Song

The other day

I met a bear

A great big bear

Way up there

He said to me

Why don‘t you run

I see you ain‘t

Got any gun

And so I ran

Right out of there

And right behind

Was that bear

In front of me

I spied a tree

A great big tree

Oh lucky me

The nearest branch

Was 10 feet up

I‘d have to jump

And trust my luck

And so I jumped

Into the air

And missed that branch

A way up there

Now don‘t you fret

And don‘t you frown

I caught that branch

On the way back down

Now that‘s the end

There ain‘t no more

Unless I meet

That bear once more

Repeat each line after leader,

then all sing whole verse over together.

Climbed up the water spout

Down came the rain

And the itsy, bitsy spider climbed up the water spout again.

The Man On the Flying Trapeze

He flies through the air with the greatest of ease

The daring young man on the flying trapeze

His movements are graceful, the girls he does please

That man on the flying trapeze

One night as he swung on the flying trapeze

He covered his mouth as he started to sneeze

And then without warning he suddenly fell

And now there‘s no story to tell

They buried the man on the flying trapeze

The clowns and the elephants, how they did grieve

They told of his daring, the tears did abound

―cause you can‘t swing when you‘re underground The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together

The more we get together the happier we‘ll be.

For your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends,

The more we get together, the happier we‘ll be

-Work together

For working together, is having fun together.

-Share together

For sharing is caring, and caring is sharing.

This land is your land, This land is my land

From California to the New York Island,

From the redwood forest to the Gulf

Stream waters

This land was made for and me.

As I went walking down that ribbon of

highway,

I saw before me the endless skyway,

I saw before me the golden valley

This land was made for you and me.

Well, I roamed and rambled and followed

My footsteps to the sparkling sands

Of her diamond deserts,

And all around a voice came calling,

Followed your cliff rims

You‘re marble canyons and your sun bright

Waters, I could feel inside me

And see all around me,

To The Beach (sung to ―London Bridge‖)

We are going to the beach,

To the beach, to the beach

We are going to the beach

In our bathing suits.

We will find there rocks and shells

Rocks and shells, rocks and shells

We will find there rocks and shells

To gather by the water.

We will build a sand castle.

Sand castle, sand castle,

We will build a sand castle,

With bridges and a tower.

We will have a picnic too,

Picnic too, picnic too

We will have a picnic too

With sandwiches and oranges.

Home we head with sunburned cheeks,

Sunburned cheeks, sunburned cheeks,

Home we head with sunburned cheeks,

And treasure from our visit.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

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!

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, Twinkle, all the knight.

Twinkle, Twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark;

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are

Oh, where, oh where is my little dog gone,

Oh where, oh where can he be?

With his ears cut short and his tail cut long,

Oh, where, oh , where is he.

Where is Thumbkin?

(Tune: Are you sleeping?)

Where is thumbkin? Where is thumbkin?

Yankee Doodle went to town

Riding on a pony

Stuck a feather in his cap

And called it macaroni

Yankee Doodle, keep it up,

Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Mind the music and the step

And with the girls be handy.

Father and I went down to camp

Along with Captain Goodin,

And there we saw the men and boys

As thick as hasty puddin‘.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up, etc.

And there was Captain Washington

Upon a slapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men,

I guess there was a million.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up, etc.
