March 11th: St. Patrick’s Day Baby Time
Hope you wore green for our St. Patrick’s Day Baby Time!
Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
Do Your Ears Point Up
http://www.lilteacher.com/leprechauns.html
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Do your ears point up?
Do you have a lot of luck?
Can you dance an Irish jig?
For a pot of gold you’ll dig?
Can you toss gold over your shoulder?
Like a giant throws a boulder?
Do your ears point up?
Shamrocks
Adapted by Miss Krissy
Tune: There’s a Spider on the Floor!
There’s a shamrock in my hair in my hair
There’s a shamrock in my hair in my hair
Oh what’s it doing there
this little shamrock in my hair
There’s a shamrock in my hair in my hair
Now the shamrock’s on my tummy,
on my tummy!
There’s a shamrock on my tummy,
on my tummy!
It tickles and its funny
With a shamrock on my tummy
There’s a shamrock on my tummy,
on my tummy!
Now the shamrock’s on my toes
on my toes!
There’s a shamrock on my toes
on my toes!
What’s it doing down on those?
It likes to tickle, I suppose,
Oh there’s a shamrock on my toes
on my toes!
Irish Lullaby
Traditional Song
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
hush now, don’t you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
that’s an Irish lullaby.
Over in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me Mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And l’d give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
hush now, don’t you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
that’s an Irish lullaby.
Leprechaun, Leprechaun

Tune: Grey Squirrel
Leprechaun, Leprechaun
Can you dance and hop?
Leprechaun, Leprechaun
Dance and hop hop pop
Can you sing a little song?
Chasing rainbows all day long
Leprechaun, Leprechaun
Can you dance and hop?

Ending songs:
Elevator Song
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand <em>
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
