Eencsy Weensy Spider

The eensy weensy spider (one hand climbs up the arm to shoulder) Went up the water spout. Down came the rain (raise hand high in the air and drop them down quickly) And washed the spider out. (hands slide down the arm) Out came the sun (arms form circle over head) And dried up all the rain, So the eensy weensy spider (hands climb back up the arm to shoulder) Went up the spout again.

Open them shut them, open them shut them (suits action to words using hands) Open them shut them give a little clap Open them shut them, open them shut them Open them shut them fold them in your lap Creep them sneak them right up to your chin Open up your little mouth but do not let them in! Open them shut them, open them shut them Open them shut them, now wave good-bye like me

Baby beluga

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea Swim so wild and you swim so free Heaven above, and the sea below, And a little white whale on the go.

Baby beluga, baby beluga, is on the water warm? Is your mama home with you, so happy.

Way down yonder where the dolphins play, Where they dive and splash all day The waves roll in and the waves roll out See the water squirting out of your spout.

Baby Beluga, baby Beluga sing your little song, Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.

When its dark, youre home and fed, Curl up snug in your water bed. Moon is shining and the stars are out, Good night, little whale, goodnight.

Baby Beluga, baby Beluga, with tomorrows sun, Another days begun, youll soon be waking

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free Heaven above and the sea below, And a little white what on the go. Youre just a little white what on the go.

TEDDY BEAR's PICNIC SONG If you go out in the woods today You're sure of a big surprise. If you go down in the woods today You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears, The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today. Watch them, catch them unawares, And see them picnic on their holiday. See them gaily dance about. They love to play and shout. And never have any cares.

At six o'clock their mommies and daddies Will take them home to bed Because they're tired little teddy bears.

If you go out in the woods today, You'd better not go alone. It's lovely out in the woods today, But safer to stay at home.

For every bear that ever there was Will gather there for certain, because Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS

Every teddy bear, that's been good Is sure of a treat today There's lots of wonderful things to eat And wonderful games to play

Beneath the trees, where nobody sees They'll hide and seek as long as they please Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

CHORUS

She Didn't Dance

She didn't dance, dance, dance She didn't dance at all today She didn't dance, dance, dance, no nor yesterday So dance her up and up and up and up Dance her up to the sky Dance her up and up and up and up, and she'll be down by and by She is like a lady, she is like a queen, she is like a lady off to the fair at Lynn So dance her up and up and up and up, dance her up to the sky Dance her up and up and up and up, and she'll be down by and by

He didn't dance, dance, dance He didn't dance at all today, dance, no nor yesterday So dance him up and up and up and up Dance him up to the sky He is like a gentleman, he is like a king, he is like a gentleman off to the fair at Lynn So dance him up and up and up and up, dance him up to the sky Dance him up and up and up and up, and he'll be down by and by.

Babies learn to walk in the circle of the sun.
