Have You Ever Seen a Father
Adapted from: http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/storytime/dads/index.html
Tune: Have You Ever Seen a Lassie
Have you ever seen a father,
a father, a father
Have you ever seen a father
as special as mine?
To care for and love me,
To help and to hug me,
Have you ever seen a father
as special mine?
Have you ever seen a father,
a father, a father
Have you ever seen a father
as awesome as mine?
To cuddle and hug me,
To kiss and protect me,
Have you ever seen a father
as awesome mine?
My Family

If you peek into my room at night
My family you will see
They kiss my face
and tuck me in tight,
Why?
Because they love me!
Thank You, Mom

Tune: London Bridge
Thank you, Mom, for all your hugs,
All your hugs, all your hugs.
Thank you Mom, for all your hugs,
They feel good to me.
Thank you Mom for all your kisses
All your kisses, all your kisses.
Thank you Mom for all your kisses,
They feel good to me.
Thank you Mom for all your love
All your love, all your love.
Thank you Mom
for all your love,
It feels good to me.

Every Family’s Special
Adapted from: http://www.preschooleducation.com/sfamilysong.shtml
Tune: Ten Little Indians
Some have fathers,
some have mothers
Some have sisters,
some have brothers.
In some houses, there are others.
Every family’s special
Grandmas, Grandpas
sometimes cousins
Aunts and Uncles by the dozens
Some are sweet
and some curmudgeons
Every family’s special

Elevator Song

Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
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!
