the child’s world.

Where is the Pirate’s Chest?
(Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?)
By Brenda Wilson
Where, oh where is that pirate’s chest?
Where, oh where could it be?
I’ve looked in the sand,
And I’ve looked in the sea.
Where, oh where could it be?

Long John Silver
(Old MacDonald)
by Brenda Wilson
Long John Silver had a ship.
Yo, ho, ho, ho, ho.
And on that ship he had some sailors.
Yo, ho, ho, ho, ho.
With an argh, argh here,
An argh, argh there,
Here an argh, there an argh,
Everywhere an argh, argh.
Long John Silver had a ship.
Yo, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Cannon........Boom
