It’s almost my birthday! Time to share my favorite songs and rhymes!
My Favorite Songs and Rhymes:
Something in My Pocket
Tune: Miss Susie Had a Turtle
http://wiki.kcls.org/tellmeastory/index.php/I%27ve_Got_Something_in_My_Pocket
I’ve got something in my pocket,
It belongs across my face.
I keep it very close to me
In a most convenient place.
I know you’ll never guess it,
If you guess a long, long while.
So I’ll take it out and put it on –
It’s a great big happy smile!
Sleeping Bunnies

See the bunnies sleeping till it’s nearly noon
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They`re so still, are they ill?
Wake up little bunnies!
Hop little bunnies, Hop little bunnies Hop little bunnies – Hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, Hop little bunnies Hop little bunnies – Hop, hop, hop
Mr. Sun
Tune: Oh Mr Sun

Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on me.
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Hiding behind a tree
These little children are asking you
To please come out so we can play with you.
Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun,
Please shine down on, please shine down on,
Please shine down on me.
Trot Old Joe

Trot, Old Joe, trot, Old Joe,
You ride better’n any horse I know,

Sittin’ in a High Chair
https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Rainbow-Songs/Sittin-In-My-High-Chair
Chorus:
Sittin’ in a high chair, big chair, my chair
Sittin’ in a high chair, bang my spoon!
Sittin’ in a high chair, big chair, my chair
Sittin’ in a high chair, feed me soon!
Bring on a plate, bring on a cup
Papa’s gonna fill this baby up
Bring on bananas, bring on the bread
Mama’s gonna get this baby fed
Repeat Chorus
Bring on the carrots, bring on the peas
Mama come serve this baby please
Bring on the pancakes stacked in a pile
Papa’s gonna make this baby smile
Repeat Chorus
Bring on a napkin,
Bring on a sponge
Clean me up ‘cause
I’m all done!
Elevator Song
Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
https://klmpeace.wordpress.com/rhymes-for-baby-and-toddler-storytimes/#59
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!
