BRUSH AWAY

Hap Palmer

Instant Sing Line:

Brush away tooth decay, up and down brush away

Movement:

Pantomime brushing teeth during verses or better yet

use real tooth brushes and really brush. (For this song

you can brush like the astronauts without toothpaste

and water.) Stop brushing and sing the instant sing

line after each verse.

Words:

When you finish eating

Do you give your teeth a brush

Don’t forget to do it

Even when you're in a rush

Stop bad breath and tooth decay

Brush at least three times a day

Now let’s sing along - sing this little song

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Get the little particles that hide in little cracks

They’re sure to be around after every meal and snack

Don’t forget your gums and the molars in the back

Get the little particles hiding in the cracks

Now let’s sing along - sing this little song

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Brush at least three times a day

Or the little particles will eat your teeth away

They make little holes we call cavities

So be kind to your teeth and brush them please

Now let’s sing along - sing this little song

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Brush away, tooth decay

Up and down, brush away

Love Grows

By John Farrell

Love grows, one by one

Two by two, and four by four

Love grows, round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

Love grows, one by one

Two by two, and four by four

Love grows, round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

Note by note we make a song

Voice by voice we sing it

Choir by choir we fill up the world

With the music that we bring it

Love grows one by one

Two by two and four by four

Love grows round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

Instrumental Chorus

Love grows one by one

Two by two and four by four

Love grows round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

So let me take your hand my friend

We’ll each take the hand of another

Hand in hand we’ll reach ‘round the world

To our sisters and our brothers

Love grows, one by one

Two by two, and four by four

Love grows, round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

Love grows, one by one

Two by two, and four by four

Love grows, round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

Love grows, one by one

Two by two, and four by four

Love grows, round like a circle

And comes back knocking at your front door

It comes back knocking at y-o-u-r f-r-o-n-t d-o-o-r.

Alligator in the Elevator

by Rick Charette

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Alligator**please push**number**one! I’m going up to the first floor,

Would you care to join me for some fun?

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Alligator**please push**number**two! I’m going up to the second floor,

Gee, I’d like to make friends with you!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Alligator**please push**number**three! I’m going up to the third floor,

Would you care to have some lunch with me?

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Alligator**please push**number**four! I’m going up to the fourth floor,

Tell me what are your big teeth for! (Bite teeth together)

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Alligator**please push**number**five! I’m going up to the fifth floor,

And I’d like to make it there alive!

Singing faster (patting legs really fast before you start singing):

There’s an alligator in the elevator, I can’t believe what I see! Ah!

There’s an alligator in the elevator, and it’s making eyes at me!

Mud

by Rick Charette

Mud, mud

I love mud.

I’m absolutely, positively, wild about mud.

I can’t go around it,

I got to go through it

Beautiful, fabulous, super duper mud.

Mud, mud

I love mud.

I’m absolutely, positively, wild about mud.

I can’t go around it,

I got to go through it

Beautiful, fabulous, super duper mud.

Big Teddy White his clothes were mighty clean

Went swimming in a pool of mud he made quite a scene,

He started with a backstroke followed by the crawl.

You should have seen him swimming when he heard his father call.

Mud, mud

I love mud.

I’m absolutely, positively, wild about mud.

I can’t go around it,

I got to go through it

Beautiful, fabulous, super duper mud.

Julianna Rule her shiney yellow boots

Saw a pool of mud that she wanted to go through

She only took two steps then she disappeared

Nobodies seen her for twenty-five years.

Mud, mud

I love mud.

I’m absolutely, positively, wild about mud.

I can’t go around it,

I got to go through it

Beautiful, fabulous, super duper mud.

Little Rusty Night he was only three

Was working in the mud on his favorite recipe

His sticks and bugs, and salamanders looked like grandma’s stew.

When he started tasting it he heard his mother scream.

Mud, mud

I love mud.

I’m absolutely, positively, wild about mud.

I can’t go around it,

I got to go through it

Beautiful, fabulous, super duper mud.

Together Tomorrow

(Goodbye song for music)

I don’t like to say to goodbye

I don’t want today to end

But we will be happy together tomorrow

Together tomorrow my friend

Together tomorrow

Together tomorrow my friend

We will be happy together tomorrow

Together tomorrow my friend.

Hello song for Music

Good morning _________, how are you?

How are you this special day?

I’m glad you came to stay!

Good morning _________, how are you?

Growing

By Hap Palmer

There are so many things that grow, grow, grow

So many things that grow, grow, grow

There are flowers and trees, and chimpanzees

Mice and rats, and little kitty cats

There are monkeys and parrots, peas and carrots,

Boys and girls all over the world.

Now let’s start with a tiny little seed

That slowly grows and becomes a tree

And the little twigs and branches become big limbs

With leaves that sway and rustle in the wind

With leaves that sway and rustle in the wind.

There are so many things that grow, grow, grow

So many things that grow, grow, grow

There are flowers and trees, and chimpanzees

Mice and rats, and little kitty cats

There are monkeys and parrots, peas and carrots,

Boys and girls all over the world.

Now we all started out as a tiny little baby

Then we grew a little bit, and then we could crawl

And we grew a little more, and then we could walk

And we grew a little more and then we could talk

And we grew a little more and we could run like the wind

There are so many things that grow, grow, grow

So many things that grow, grow, grow

There are flowers and trees, and chimpanzees

Mice and rats, and little kitty cats

There are monkeys and parrots, peas and carrots,

Boys and girls all over the world

Yes, boys and girls all over the world.

Open Shut them

By Hap Palmer

Open shut them, open shut them

Give a little clap, clap, clap

Open shut them, open shut them

Put them in your lap

Apart together, apart together

Give a little clap

Apart together, apart together

Put them in your lap

I raise my hands, oh so high

I bring them down and now there low

I raise my hands, oh so high

I bring them down and now there low

My hands are high

My hands are low

My hands are high

My hands are low

My hand is a bird flying high,

The bird flies down and now it’s low

The bird flies up and now it’s high,

The bird flies down and now it’s low

My hands are high

My hands are low

My hands are high

My hands are low

Open shut them, open shut them

Give a little clap, clap, clap

Open shut them, open shut them

Put them in your lap

Back and forward, back and forward

Give a little clap

Back and forward, back and forward

Put them in your lap.

Butterfly

First comes the butterfly who lays an egg,

Out comes a caterpillar with many legs.

Oh, see the caterpillar spin and spin,

A little cocoon to sleep in.

Oh, oh, oh, look and see

Oh, oh, oh, look and see-ee

Out of the cocoo-oon my, oh my!

Out comes a beautiful butterfly.

Goin’ to the Zoo

Oh, we’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo

To see the elephants and wild kangaroos

And while we are there, we’ll see the polar bear

‘Cause if we don’t we’ll stay until we do.

Oh, we’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo

To see the camels and the wild caribous

And while we are there, we’ll see the panda bear

‘Cause if we don’t we’ll stay until we do.

Oh, we’re goin’ to the zoo, zoo, zoo

To see the lions and the wild tigers too

And while we are there, we’ll see the grizzly bear

‘Cause if we don’t we’ll stay until we do.

Ladybug

Ladybug, ladybug

Where will you land?

Ladybug, ladybug

Come to my hand.

Then you can crawl all the way up my arm

And I will assure you I’ll do you no harm.

When you fly away, when you fly away

I hope that you’ll come back

Another fine day.

The Mosquito

Zzz-zzz-zzz, zzz-zzz-zzz, zzzzzz-zzzzz

The mosquito bites and it bothers me

‘Cause it itch, itch, itches all the night!

He’s a tiny bug, but he bothers me

‘Cause I scratch, scratch his little bites.

Zzz-zzz-zzz, zzz-zzz-zzz, zzzzzz-zzzzz

Zzz-zzz-zzz, zzz-zzz-zzz, zzzzzz-zzzzz.

Gotcha!

Water

Water, water everywhere

And not a drop to spare

Water in the ground

And water in the air

Though it may evaporate

It never goes away

It stays on top of mountains

Melts and floats into the bay

Animals need water

People need it too

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you….2x

Now you can take a shower in it

You can wash your hair

You can wash your clothes

And wash your teddy bear

Really clean water

Is gettin’ kinda rare

If you want to save it

People have to care

Animals need water

People need it too

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you…2x

Oooh, wah, wah, wah, wha, wha….2x

Animals need water

People need it too

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you… 2x

Water is rain

Water’s a flood

Water turns dirt

What?…into mud

Sometimes water’s blue

And sometimes water’s green

Sometimes water’s dirty

Sometimes water’s clean

Animals need water

People need it too

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you….2x

They say the ocean’s filling up

With stuff like DDT

It shows up in the fish

And then in you and me

If we drink enough of it

We may wind up in bed

If we drink too much of it

We may wind up dead, Aah!

Animals need water

People need it too

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you…2x

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you

Water, water everywhere

And not a drop to spare

Keep it clean for me

And I’ll keep it clean for you

Pumpkin Song

Pumpkin, pumpkin

Round and fat,

Turns into a Jack-o-lantern

Just like that!

Apple Song

Tune: The Bear Went Over the Mountain

The worm went through the apple

The worm went through the apple,

To see what he could see

And all that he could see….

Was the other side of the apple

The other side of the apple

The other side of the apple,

Was all that he could see!

Hurry Hurry Firetruck!

Tune: Ten Little Indians

Hurry, hurry drive the firetruck,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Hurry, hurry put on the siren,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Hurry, hurry pull the hose,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Hurry, hurry climb the ladder,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Hurry, hurry spray the fire,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Hurry, hurry drive back to the station,

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins

Sitting on a gate

The first one said,

Oh my, it’s getting late

The second one said,

There are witches in the air

The third one said,

But we don’t care

The fourth one said,

Let’s run and run and run

The fifth one said,

I’m ready for some fun

“Whiiish” went the wind

And OUT (clap your hands) went the lights

And the five little pumpkins

Rolled out of sight.

“Whiiish” went the wind

And OUT (clap your hands) went the lights

And the five little pumpkins

Rolled out of sight.
