There’s Music In A Hammer
There’s music in a hammer, there’s music in a nail,
There’s music in a kitty when you step upon his tail.
There’s music in a bucket, there’s music in a pail,
There’s music in a kitty when you step upon his tail.
This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market and this little piggy stayed home,
And this litte piggy ate vegetables and this littly piggy had none
And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee all the way home.

Button You Must Wander
Button, you must wander, wander, wander,
Button, you must wander everywhere.
Up in the air, over there.
Button, you must wander everywhere.
Who has the button? I do. You do.
Here it is. There it is.
Button, you must wander everywhere.

One and then the other; it’s a melody game.
Cape Dorset Lullaby
Still now and hear my singing, sweetly,
Sleep through the night, my darling child
The Elephant Rhyme
The elephant goes like this, like that,
He’s terribly big, he’s terribly fat.
He has no fingers, has no toes,
But goodness, gracious, what a nose!
Nose, nose, it always knows
The flavor of fruit wherever it goes.

Deedle Deedle Dumpling, my son John,
Went to bed with his stockings on.
One shoe off and one shoe on,
Deedle Deedle Dumpling, my son John..

Shake My Hands (lyrics adapted from Anne Gilbert)
I shake my hands up high, I shake my hands down low,
I shake my hands above my head I shake them far below.
I shake them to the left, I shake them to the right,
I shake them all around and I shake with all my might!
Shoo Fly
Shoo fly, don’t bother me. Shoo fly, don’t bother me.
Shoo fly, don’t bother me, cuz I belong to somebody.
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star.
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like a morning star.
Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo.
Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo.
Flies in the buttermilk, shoo fly, shoo.
Skip to my lou, my darling.
Fly, fly, in my eye, I got no time to fret and cry.
I’m a-gonna catch you, that’s no lie
If you step on my Shoo Fly Pie!

Monkey See, Monkey Do
See monkey do and do monkey see,
A monkey sitting in a coconut tree,
Oh, me monkey you and you monkey me,
A monkey sitting in a coconut tree.
Three (two, one) little monkeys jumpin’ on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed!”
Pease Porridge Hot
Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old!
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot, nine days old!
The Sea Song
Won’t ya come along? Won’t ya sing my song?
Sail the ocean blue, just me and you.
Won’t ya take my hand, walk upon the sand.
Just you and me and the deep blue sea.
Starfish, angelfish, sharks and whales,
Lobsters and hermit crabs and fish with funny tails!
Catfish, dogfish, jellyfish and eels,
All live together with the dolphins and the seals!

Engine, Engine No. 9
Engine, Engine No. 9, going down Chicago line,
If the train goes off the track, will I get my money back?
Engine, Engine No. 1, jump aboard and have some fun!

Engine, Engine No. 3, I see you and you see me!
Engine, Engine No. 4, spin around and touch the floor!

Don’t you let those beddy bugs bite!
Pleasant dreams ‘til the morning light.

Bend your knees.........
Tiptoe with your toes........

The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, Hickory Dickory Dock.

One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.
How Do You Do?
How do you do?
Can you tell me what’s new?
If I sing my song, won’t you all sing along?
It’s a song about you.
How Do You Do Today?
How do you do to- How do you do to- How do you do today?
I’m ______, I’m ______,
So let’s go out and play!
(Or: But thank you anyway.)
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again!
And so they all had scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Jack B Nimble
Jack B Nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack jumped over the candlestick.
Jumpin’ Jackie took a chance
And burned the seat of his pants! Yow!

Mary Mack
Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black black black
With silver buttons buttons buttons
All down her back back back.
She asked her mother mother mother
For fifteen cents cents cents
To see the elephants elephants elephants
Jump over the fence fence fence.
They jumped so high high high
They reached the sky sky sky
And they didn’t come back back back
Til the 4th of Ju-ly ly ly.
They went up-stairs stairs stairs
To make her bed bed bed
But she bumped her head head head
On a piece of corn bread bread bread.
Mary Quite Contrary
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With bluebells and cockleshells
And silverbells in a row.
Mary, Mary, pretty and fair,
What ya got growin’ in that garden with care?
Beets and peas and corn and potatoes,
Flowers, pumpkin, fruit and tomatoes.
Throw it all together in a great big pot.
Simmer all day and serve it while it’s hot!
