Songs

These are songs the children love to sing.

Bell Cabinet with Notes

Down By The Creek:

I like to go down by the creek.

I sit on a rock and look in the deep.

Chorus:

Tadpoles and salamanders, crayfish and minnows,

whirligigs and water boatmen dance all around.

I like to look into the creek.

A little frog hides in the deep.

(chorus)

Water striders dance on the water.

Yellow leaves gently float down.

(chorus)

Red and green, purple and amber.

Dragonflies and damselflies too.

(chorus)

I see the tracks of somebody’s feet.

A shy raccoon has been to the deep.

(chorus)

Sarasponda:

Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda ret set set

Sarasponda, sarasponda, sarasponda ret set set

A doray-oh, A doray-boomday-oh

A doray-boomday ret set set

Ah say pah say oh.

The Dandelion Song:

Written by Linda Allen, Kristin and Jennifer Allen-Zito

Chorus:

Dandy, dandy, dandy, dandy dandelion,

There's something pretty dandy 'bout you.

(doodalee-doodalee-doo)

Dandy, dandy, dandy dandy dandelion,

I wish that there were more of you.

Well, flowers come in green and pink and red,

And they sleep all day in their little flower beds.

But the little dandelion grows wild and free,

With her uncles and her cousins and the whole family.

(Chorus)

First I make a wish then I blow real hard,

And the little dandelions blow all over the yard.

And I wait and I hope for my wish to come true,

Guess there's only so much a dandelion can do.

(Chorus)

The Continent Song:

Tell me the continents, tell me the continents, tell me if you can.

North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Don’t forget Oceania. Don’t forget Antarctica.

Tell me the continents, tell me the continents, tell me if you can.

The Ocean Song:

There are four great oceans, great oceans, great oceans.

There are four great oceans on our planet earth.

The Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Arctic.

There are four great oceans on our planet earth.

Round and Round the Seasons Go

Written by Rozanne Lanczak Williams

Round and round the seasons go; Winter comes, cold white snow.

Round and round the seasons go; Spring comes, flowers grow.

Round and round the seasons go; Summer comes hot and slow.

Round and round the seasons go; Fall comes, leaves blow.

As I Was Walking Down The Street 

As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street

A friend of mine I chanced to meet; hi ho, hi ho, hi ho!

A rig-a-jig jig and away we go, away we go, away we go

A rig-a-jig jig and away we go, Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho!

(repeat)

 

Movements: Sing the song while marching on the line. When you get to the “a-rig-a-jig-jig” part, grab a partner by both hands and move your arms from side to side.
