A Bad Hair Day
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Cherry Carl
Johnny chews some gum in school.
He disobeys the rule!
Now there’s gum on Teacher’s chair,
and some in Johnny’s hair!
He chews, chews, chews his gum.
He pulls it with his thumb.
Now his gum is everywhere,
but most is in his hair!
Blowing Bubbles
(Tune: There’s a Little White Duck)
Cherry Carl
There’s a funny little boy by the name of Drew,
a funny little boy who knew how to chew.
He took a bite of some chewing gum,
Smacked his lips and began to hum.
Then he blew and blew and the bubbles grew!
Chew! Chew! Chew!
