CD Lyrics- Songs That Won’t Annoy Your Parents
Play and Stop (shake your instruments and stop when the music stops)
Should we… play and play and play and play and play and stop?
Play and play and play and play and play and stop? (repeat twice more)
1, 2, 3…GO!
Play, play, play your instruments, Play, play, play your instruments
Play, play, play your instruments, play and stop!
Baby Beluga (usually sung with ocean drum in class)
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 the water warm? Is your mama home,
With you so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends.
We like to hear you.
When it's dark, you're home and fed.
Curled up snug in your waterbed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out.
Good night, little whale, good night.
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga,
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun.
You'll 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 whale on the go.
You're just a little white whale on the go.

Puff the Magic Dragon (in class we wave scarves and then throw them
in the air during the chorus)
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanah Lee.
All the Pretty Little Horses/ Bayushka Bayu
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep, little baby.
When you wake, you shall have
All the pretty little horses,
Blacks and bays, dapples and greys,
All the pretty little horses.
Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep little baby.
Go to sleep my darling baby, Bayushka Bayu
See the moon is shining on you Bayushak Bayu
I will tell you many stories, if you close your eyes
Go to sleep my darling baby, Bayushka Bayu
