Hello/Goodbye Song (tune of Goodnight Ladies)

Hello everyone, hello everyone,

Hello everyone, it’s so nice to see you today!

(during the goodbye song, each child strums the guitar while we sing their name)

Finger Songs

2 Little Sausages (chanted)

Two little sausages, frying in a pan! One went pop! And the other went Bam!

Peanut Sitting on a Railroad Track

A peanut was sittin’ on a railroad track,

Its heart was all a-flutter,

Around the bend came number ten…

Toot toot! Peanut Butter!

Down in the Meadow

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool

Lived three little fishies and a mama fishy too.

Swim said the mama fishy, swim if you can,

So they swam and they swam right over the dam.

Boopboopdiddumdaddum, whattum- CHOO! (sing 3 times)

And they swam and they swam right over the dam.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

Peanut, peanut butter...and jelly!

First you have to pick ‘em, you pick ‘em, you pick ‘em

Then you have to crack ‘em, you crack ‘em, you crack’ em

Then you have to mash ‘em....etc

Peanut peanut butter...and jelly! (repeat)

Then you have to stir it, you stir it, you stir it,

Then you have to spread it...etc.

Then you have to eat it...etc

Mmm mm, mm mmmmmm....mm mmmm! (mouth full)

I Have a Car

I have a car, it’s made of tin,

Nobody knows what shape it’s in,

It has a mirror and a running board,

It’s a Ford and it has 4 doors.

Honk honk, rattle rattle, don’t crash, beep beep!

The Finger Band (tune of Mulberry bush)

The finger band is coming to town, coming to town, coming to town

The finger band is coming to town, so early in the morning.

Other verses: this is the way they march and march….this is the way they wear their hats….this is the way they play the cymbals….the finger band is going away.

I’m a Nut

I’m a little acorn round lying on the cold cold ground

Everybody steps on me, that is why I’m cracked you see

I’m a nut (click click) I’m a nut (click click)

I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut (click click)

Drum Songs

Baby Beluga (usually sung with ocean drum in class)

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, baby beluga,
Is the water warm? Is your mama home,
With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends.
We like to hear you.
When it's dark, you're home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun.
You'll soon be waking.
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.

Big Bear (chanted)

Big bear, big bear, who do you see?
