HELLO SONG
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you? How are you?
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you today?
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you? How are you?
Hi, hello and how are you?
How are you today?
OPEN, SHUT THEM
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Lay them in your lap
Creep them, creep them
Creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little mouth
But do not let them in
Shake them, shake them
Shake them, shake them
Shake them just like this
the ants go marching
The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one
The little one stops to suck her thumb
And they all go marching down
To the ground
To get out of the rain
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The ants go marching two by two
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching two by two
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching two by two
The little one stops to tie her shoe
And they all go marching down
To the ground
To get out of the rain
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

five little monkeys
Five little monkeys, sitting in a tree
Teasing Mr. Crocodile
“You can’t catch me”
“You can’t catch me”
Along comes Mr. Crocodile
As quiet as can be SNAP!
Roll them, roll them
Roll them, roll them
Blow a little kiss!

miss polly had a dolly
Miss Polly had a dolly who was sick, sick, sick
So she called for the doctor to come quick, quick,
quick
The doctor came with his bag and his hat
And he knocked at the door with a ra-ta-tat
He looked at the dolly and he shook his head
He said “Miss Polly put her straight to bed”
He wrote on the paper for a pill, pill, pill
I’ll be back in the morning with my bill, bill, bill.

FIVE IN THE BED
There were five in the bed
And the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There were four in the bed
And the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There were three in the bed
And the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There were two in the bed
And the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over and one fell out
There was one in the bed
And he said
“Good night, Goodnight”
So he rolled over and went to sleep.
