Fun in the Snow
HELLO (Traditional)
Hello to the girls,
Hello to the girls,
Hello to the girls,
How do you say hello?
Hello to the boys…hello to the grown-ups…hello everybody!
SNOWMAN CIRCUS (S. McKenna)
On a wintery night after a snowy, snowy day
All the snowmen they sneak away
To a clearing in the woods, under a starry sky
Snowmen sneak away to the Snowman Circus
And they fly
They fly
Slipping and sliding they race in the snow
Sledding down the hills and away they go
They dance and twirl and the snow dust flies
Their scarves make trails for everybody’s eyes
Chorus:
It’s the Snowman Circus, it’s so fine
Snowman Circus it’ll blow your mind
Snowman Circus, it’s so fine
Snowman Circus it’ll blow your mind
JUMPIN’ ON THE BED (Traditional)
Five little monkeys jumpin’ on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
“No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed!”
Juggling snowballs is hard to do
But snowmen learn how when they are two
Twirling brooms they fly in the sky
It’s a mighty trick when they fly so high
Chorus
They have a fire that burns so bright
They stand far away so they don’t melt in the
night
For their final act, they take to the sky
And that is when those snowmen fly, they fly
They fly
Chorus
Four little monkeys…
Three little monkeys…
Two little monkeys…
One little monkey…
Chorus:
“No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed!”
“No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed!”
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
“No more monkeys jumpin’ on the bed!”

LAP RAP (S. Eckberg)
When my family goes out for a drive
There’s a special street where we like to ride
It’s the one where the bumps are oh, so high
We go bump diddily, bump diddily, bump, bump, bump
Bump diddily bump, diddily, bump, bump, bump
Bump diddily bump, diddily, bump, bump, bump
We go bump, diddily, bump, bump!
Time for school and we jump on the bus
We’ve got our books and we’ve packed our lunch
Mom and Dad smile as we wave bye bye.
We go bye diddily, bye diddily, bye, bye, bye
Bye diddily, bye diddily, bye, bye, bye
Bye diddily bye, diddily, bye, bye, bye
We go bye, diddily, bye bye!
ELEPHANT (Traditional)
The elephant goes like this, like that.
He’s terribly big and he’s terribly fat!

Here comes the street cleaner sweeping up the street
It helps to keep roads lookin’ really neat.
It’s got a big brush that spins ‘round and ‘round.
It goes wash diddily, wash diddily, wash, wash, wash…
Watch out fire truck speeding on the way!
Hurry up! Hurry up! Get there right away!
Pull out the hoses and let the water spray!
It goes swishhhhhhhhhhhhh…
We go bump diddily, bump diddily,
bump, bump, bump
We go wash diddily, wash diddily,

We go swish diddily, swish diddily,

ITSY BITSY SPIDER (Traditional)
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
Then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
The big hairy spider went up the water spout…
The teeny weeny spider went up the water spout…
GOIN’ TO KENTUCKY (Traditional)
We’re goin’ to Kentucky. We’re goin' to the fair
To meet the senorita with the ribbons in her hair.
I said, shake it, baby, shake it. Shake it if you can.
Shake it like a milkshake, and do the best you can.
Oh, shake it to the bottom. Shake it to the top.
Turn around and turn around until you holler, “Stop!”

MY SNOWMAN (D. Gibbone)
I built a happy snowman
With layers, one, two, three
A big one on the bottom
Right where his feet should be
(roll a snowball)
(count on fingers)
(cup both arms down low)
(touch toes)
Another in the middle
His belly round and fat
A smaller one on top
To fit his snowman hat
(cup arms around hips)
(pat belly)
(place hands on side of head)
(pull imaginary hat down over head)
He stood there in the winter’s wind
No shivering cold he felt
But when the sun warmed up the sky
My snowman began to melt
(arms out to side-stand straight and tall)
(hug self and shiver)
(sign for sun)
(slowly melt to the ground)

Wish I may, wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

IGLOO (S. McKenna)
I’m hiding in an igloo
A house of ice and snow

Made by an Eskimo

See if you can you find me. 1-2-3!
SNOW ANGEL CHANT (D. Gibbone, C. Rozmiarek, J. Weaver)
Snow is falling, outside we go
Let’s make angels in the snow!

And move around like a jumping jack
I stretch my arms and legs just so
I move them fast, I move them slow
And when I stand and turn around
Poof! There’s an angel on the ground!

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE (Traditional, add’l verse S. Eckberg, K. Fink, D. Santella)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, as you lay sleeping
I knelt and kissed your little cheek
I wish you sweet dreams, my little sunshine
And your heart I’ll always keep
(Repeat first verse)

After a while, crocodile
Cuttin’ loose, Mother Goose
