Bossy Frog
Adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEqq8PfirqM
Tune: Bossy Frog
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
He said arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around
Arms up …… Arms down
Clap your hands …… And bounce around
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
He said touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please
Touch your nose …… Touch your toes
Tap your knees …… Tickle please
Way down yonder in the cranberry bog
There’s a big ol cranky Bossy Frog
He’s out on his lily pad all day long
Singing his very very bossy song
Six Little Frogs
Adapted from Six Little Ducks
Tune: Six Little Ducks
Six little frogs that I once knew,
Green ones, brown ones, red ones, too.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.
Down to the blue pond they would go,
Hop, jump, hop, jump, to and fro.
But the one bullfrog with the freckles on his throat,
He ruled them all with a
croak, croak, croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
Croak Croak Croak.
He ruled them all with a Croak Croak Croak.
Sleeping Froggies
Adapted by Miss Krissy

Wake up little froggies!

Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop
Hop little froggies, Hop little froggies
Hop little froggies – Hop, hop, hop…

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,

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.

Here are the songs and rhymes we used:
I Know a Little Pony
Traditional rhyme
I know a little pony

His name is Dapple Grey
He lives down in a meadow
Not very far away
He goes nibble, nibble, nibble

Trot, trot, trot…and
(bounce from side to side)
Stay behind and wait a bit…
(no movement)
A gallop, a gallop, a gallop, AWAY!
(quick gallop, swing baby up on AWAY)
Six Little Ponies
Adapted by Miss Krissy
One little pony went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
She had such enormous fun
She called another little pony to come!
Two… Three… Four… Five…
Six little ponies went out to play
On a bright and sunny day
Time to go, the day is done
Good-bye little ponies, every one!
Derry Down Derry
Traditional rhyme
Derry, down derry
And up in the air,
Baby shall ride
(substitute baby’s name)
without pony or mare .
Clasped in my arms (hug)
Like a queen/king on a throne,
Prettiest/Handsomest rider (give a kiss)
That ever was known.
Trot Old Joe

Up and Down
Adapted from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld-EI0Pp1SI
Up, up, up
in the sky like this
Down, down, down
for a great big kiss
Up like this,
Down for a kiss,
You’re a special baby
Yummy Hugs

You be the ice cream,
And I’ll be the freezer.
You be the lemon,
And I’ll be the squeezer.
You be the hot dog,
And I’ll be the bun.
You be the baby,
And we’ll have some fun!

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!
