Ring Around the Rosie

Ring around the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat
Gently Down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

The Ice Cream Spot

(Sung to the tune “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)

When the sun is very hot,
Very hot, very hot
When the sun is very hot,
My mom takes me to
The ice cream spot.

We walk together holding hands,
Holding hands, holding hands.
We walk together holding hands,
On our way to the ice cream stand.

We sit upon the shiny stool,
Shiny stool, shiny stool.
We sit upon the shiny stool,
And order ice cream, nice and cool.

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 night.
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!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Yankee Doodle Dandy

Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.

You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine my only sunshine,
you make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away.
