Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty
Together again.
 

The Animal Fair

I went to the animal fair,
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair,
The monkey bumped the skunk,
And sat on the elephant's trunk;
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees,
And that was the end of the monk,
The monk, the monk, the monk,
The monk, the monk, the monk.

Apples and Bananas

I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas
I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas

I like to ate, ate, ate ay-ples and ba-nay-nays
I like to ate, ate, ate ay-ples and ba-nay-nays

I like to eat, eat, eat ee-ples and bee-nee-nees

I like to ite, ite, ite i-ples and by-ny-nys

The Bear
Echo Song

The other day,
(The other day)
I met a bear,
(I met a bear)
Away up there,
(Away up there)
A great big bear!
(A great big bear!)

The other day I met a bear,
A great big bear a way up there!

He looked at me
(He looked at me)
I looked at him
(I looked at him)
He sized up me
(He sized up me)
I sized up him
(I sized up him)

He looked at me, I looked at him,
He sized up me, I sized up him.

He said to me
(He said to me)
"Why don't you run?
("Why don't you run?)
I see you don't
(I see you don't)
Have any gun"
(Have any gun")

He said to me, "Why don't you run?
I see you don't have any gun."

And so I ran
(And so I ran)
Away from there
(Away from there)
And right behind
(And right behind)
Me was that bear
(Me was that bear)

And so I ran away from there,
And right behind me was a that bear.

Ahead of me
(Ahead of me)
I saw a tree
(I saw a tree)
A great big tree
(A great big tree)
Oh, golly gee!
(Oh, golly gee!)

Ahead of me there was a tree,
A great big tree, oh, golly gee!

The lowest branch
(The lowest branch)
Was ten feet up
(Was ten feet up)
I had to jump
(I had to jump)
And trust my luck
(And trust my luck)

The lowest branch was ten feet up,
I had to jump and trust my luck.

And so I jumped
(And so I jumped)
Into the air
(Into the air)
And missed that branch
(And missed that branch)
Away up there
(Away up there)

And so I jumped into the air,
And missed that branch away up there.

Now don't you fret
(Now don't you fret)
And don't you frown
(And don't you frown)
I caught that branch
(I caught that branch)
On the way back down
(On the way back down)

Now don't you fret and don't you frown,
I caught that branch on the way back down.

That's all there is
(That's all there is)
There is no more
(There is no more)
Until I meet
(Until I meet)
That bear once more
(That bear once more)

That's all there is, there is no more,
Until I meet that bear once more.

The end, the end
(The end, the end)
The end, the end
(The end, the end)
The end, the end
(The end, the end)
The end, the end!
(The end, the end!)

The end, the end, the end, the end,
This time it really is the end!

The Circus Song

The circus came to town,
To the circus I went
I didn't have a nickel,
I didn't have a cent

The circus man said
To see the show without a cent,
I'd have to carry water
For the elephant.

I carried water for the elephant,
Back and forth to the well I went
My arms got sore and my back got bent
But I couldn't fill up that elephant

I said to the dude
In the stand-up collar
"I'll bet you five bucks
That elephant's hollow"

He handed me a ticket,
Said, "First you'll see
The animals in
The menagerie."

First I sawed the lion
And the lion roared
I saw the wild sloth
And the wild sloth snored

I saw the wild snake
And the wild snake hissed
I saw the wild bee
And the wild bee bumbled

I saw mister possum
Sittin' on a limb
A big black bear
Sittin' next to him

I saw the little monkey,
Like in a zoo
The wild rooster said
"Cockle doodly doodle doo"

I saw the hippopotamus
Splash in the water
Trying to dance with
The crocodile's daughter

I saw the gazelle
And the big kangaroo
I heard an owl holler
"Hoo, hoo, hoo"

I saw the wild donkey
And the wild donkey brayed
I saw the wild horse
And the wild horse neighed

I saw the wild seal
And the wild seal barked
I saw the giraffe
And the giraffe yelled...

I went down to the circus tent
I sure am doggone glad I went
I saw the whole show -- didn't cost a cent
Because I carried water for the elephant

If All the Little Raindrops

If all the little raindrops
Were lemondrops and lollipops
Oh, if all the little raindrops
Were lemondrops and lollipops
Oh, what a rain that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la

If all the little snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, if all the little snowflakes
Were candy bars and milkshakes
Oh, what a snow that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la

If all the little sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, if all the little sunbeams
Were bubblegum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
Standing outside, with my mouth open wide
Singing La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la,
La la la, la

I'm a Nut

I'm an acorn, small and round
Lying on the cold, cold ground
Everyone walks over me
That is why I'm cracked you see

I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)

Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear my golden tone
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up about half past eight

I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)

Took myself to the movie show
Stayed too late and said "Let's go"
Took my hand and led me out
Drove me home and gave a shout!

I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)

Bumped his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

 The Owl and the Pussycat
(Edward Lear)

I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

II
Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

III
'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear.
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's a cross for me.
