Moo Moo Brown Cow
(Tune: "Baa Baa Black Sheep")
Moo Moo brown cow,
Have you milk for me?
Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am
As tasty as can be!

Churn it into butter
Make it into cheese
Freeze it into ice cream
Or drink it if you please.

Moo Moo brown cow,
Have you milk for me?
Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am
As tasty as can be!

Five big ice creams with sprinkles on the top.

And if somebody takes one and gobbles it all up –
There'll be how many ice creams standing in the shop?

"Talking Ice Cream"
Five little ice cream cones so good to eat
The first one said, "I'm a summertime treat."
The second one said, "It's such a hot day."
The third one said, "I’m melting away!"
The fourth one said, "Don't lose your top."
The fifth one said, "Oh dear – ker-plop!" (place the last cone upside down)

Take Me Out for Some Ice Cream
(Tune: "Take Me Out to the Ball Game")
Take me out for some ice cream
Take me out to the store
Buy me a super-jumbo cone
I don't care if I eat it alone
So, just SCOOP – SCOOP – SCOOP up the ice cream
Buy me two kinds I adore
For it's 1 – 2 – no more than 3
At the ice cream store!
