Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away.

Gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out…
Gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out…
Gotta stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out
Gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out…

Something in My Pocket
I have something in my pocket
That belongs across my face
I keep it very close to me
In a most convenient place.
You’ll never never guess it
If you guess a long long while
So I’ll take it out and put it on
It’s a great big happy smile

A-Hunting We Will Go
A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a fox and put him in a box,
And then we'll let him go.

A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a bear and comb her hair,
And then we'll let her go.

A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a mouse and put him in a house,
And then we'll let him go.

A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a whale and tickle her tail,
And then we'll let her go.

A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go,
We'll catch a goat and put him in a boat,
And then we'll let him go.

Balls Are for Bouncing
(Tune: Hands are for Clapping)
Balls are for bouncing,
Bouncing to this song!
Balls are for bouncing,
Let’s bounce all day along.

Ballls are for throwing…
Balls are for catching…
Balls are for rolling…

Bounce and Catch It
Bounce and catch it, bounce and catch it!
Bounce and catch the ball!
Bounce and catch it, bounce and catch it!
Do not let it fall!

Did You Ever See A Hare?
(Tune of: Did You Ever See A Lassie)
Did you ever see a hare,
A hare, a hare,
Did you ever see a hare
Who runs so fast?
He zips and zaps,
And zooms right on past.
Did you ever see a hare
Who runs so fast?

Did you ever see a tortoise,
A tortoise, a tortoise,
Did you ever see a tortoise
Who crawls so slow?
She knows she’s so low,
Her legs will not grow.
Did you ever see a tortoise
Who crawls so slow?

Hare and Tortoise Song
(Tune of "Farmer in the Dell")
The hare ran so fast,
The Hare ran so fast.
Heigh-ho, the derry-oh,
The Hare ran so fast.

The tortoise crawled so slow,
The tortoise crawled so slow.
Heigh-ho, the derry-oh,
The tortoise crawled so slow.

The hare stopped to rest,
The hare stopped to rest.
Heigh-ho, the derry-oh,
The hare stopped to rest.

The tortoise won the race,
The tortoise won the race.
Heigh-ho, the derry-oh,
The tortoise won the race.

Here’s A Ball for Bouncing
Here’s a ball for bouncing. I bounce it 1, 2, 3.
Here’s a ball for throwing. Can you catch it? Let me see!
Here’s a ball for rolling, roll it back to me!

I’m Bouncing
I’m bouncing everywhere.
I bounce into the air.
I’m bouncing like a ball.
I bounce until I fall.

One Elephant Went Out to Play
One elephant went out to play,
On a spider’s web one day.
He had such enormous fun
That he called for another elephant to come.

(Keep adding elephants until)
Five elephants went out to play,
On a spider’s web one day.
They had such enormous fun
That they played all day, ‘till the day was done.

Patty Cake
Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, and pat it, and mark it with a “B”
And put it in the oven for baby and me.

Take away the green grass, take away the sky
But don’t take away my alligator pie

Alligator cake, alligator cake
If I don’t get some, I think I’m gonna shake
Take away the river, take away the lake
But don’t take away my alligator cake

Alligator stew, alligator stew
If I don’t get some, I don’t know what I’ll do
Take away my socks and take away my shoes
But don’t take away my alligator stew

Camel Countdown
Five little camels
Carrying heavy packs,
Walking through the desert,
Leaving little hoof tracks

One little camel
had a stiff neck,
But the other four camels
Continued their trek

Four little camels
Passed by a tree
One stopped for lunch
Then there were three.

Three little camels
As the hot winds blew
One lost his pack
Then there were two.

Two little camels
Under the hot desert sun,
One took a nap
Then there was one.

The last little camel
Traveled alone
At the end of the day
He was home, sweet home

Five Smiling Crocodiles
Five little crocodiles floating down the Nile,
Each of them had a great big smile.
They laughed and played on a sunshine day
When a little (red) fish swam over their way

One little crocodile forgot about play!
Something yummy was his wish,
So he swam away after the (red) fish.
(repeat with different colored fish)

One little crocodile floating down the Nile
He no longer had a great big smile
His friends were gone – and so were the fish
So he swam back home with a swish, swish, swish

The Lady and the Crocodile
She sailed away on a summer day
On the back of a Crocodile
You see, said she, he's as tame as can be
I'll ride him down the Nile

The Croc winked his eye
as she bade them all good-bye
wearing a happy smile

At the end of the ride
The Lady was inside
And the smile on the crocodile

Over in the Desert
Over in the desert in the sand and the sun
Lived a mother camel and her little camel one
“March,” said the camel.
“We march,” said one.
So they marched in the desert in the heat of the sun
(Repeat with other desert animals: sand cat, snake)

Sally the Camel (Tune: Dem Bones)
Sally the Camel has two humps,
Sally the Camel has two humps,
Sally the Camel has two humps, so
Ride Sally, Ride! Boom, Boom, Boom.

Sally the Camel has one hump,
Sally the Camel has one hump,
Sally the Camel has one hump, so
Ride Sally, Ride! Boom, Boom, Boom.

Sally the Camel has no humps
Sally the Camel has no humps,
Sally the Camel has no humps, so
Sally is a HORSE!
