Buying Ice Cream
Five big ice creams, sitting in the shop
With chocolate sauce and a cherry on top
Along came a lion with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Four big ice creams, sitting in the shop
With chocolate sauce and a cherry on top
Along came a mouse with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Along came a polar bear with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Along came a rabbit with a penny to pay
He bought an ice cream and ate it right away!

Hippity Hop to the Grocery Shop
Hippity hop to the grocery shop
To buy three sticks of candy
One for you and one for me
And one for sister Mandy

Shopping at the Store
(Tune of: Farmer in the Dell)
We're shopping at the store
We’re shopping at the store
We bought a red apple
And now we'll shop some more….
other fruit, food, etc.

This Little Pig
This little pig went to market,
This little pig stayed home,
This little pig had roast beef,
This little pig had none.
And this little pig went
Wee-wee-wee-wee,
All the way home.

Three Little Nickels
Three little nickels in a pocketbook new,
One bought a peppermint, and then there were two,
Two Little nickels before the day was done,
One bought an ice cream come, and then there was one
One little nickel I heard it plainly say,
"I'm going into the piggy bank for a rainy day!"

To Market, To Market
To market, to market to buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig.
To market, to market to buy a fat hog.
Home again, home again, jiggety-jog.
