Alice, Where Are You Going? (Traditional)
Alice, where are you going? Upstairs to take a bath.
Alice, with legs like toothepicks, and a neck like a giraffe
Alice, got in the bathtub, pulled out the plug and then
Oh my goodness, bless my soul! There goes Alice down the hole!
Alice, where are you going? Glub, glub, gurgle!
Heartfoam (Sir William Schwenk Gilbert 1836-1911)
Oh to be wafted away from this black acceldama of sorrow
Where the dust of an earthly today is the earth of a dusty tomorrow
The Three Bears (Bobby Troup, Londontown Music/ASCAP 1946)
Once upon a time in a wee little forest there were three bears.
One was a papa bear, and one was a mama bear and one was a wee bear.
Now one day as they were walkin’ through the deep woods and talkin’
Came a little girl with blonde hair
Her name was Goldilocks and upon the door she knocks but no-one was there.
So she walked right in and she had herself a ball – she didn’t care!
When home, home, home came the three bears…
“Someone’s been eating my porridge,” said the papa bear.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge,” said the mama bear.
Then “babareebear,” said the little wee bear.
“Someone has broken my chair!” – CRASH!
Just then Goldilocks woke up, broke up the party, beat it out of there.
“Bye, bye, bye,” said the papa bear.
“Good-bye, bye,” said the mama bear.
Then “babareebear,” said the little wee bear.
So ends the story of the three bears.
Chinese Honeymoon (Adapted from Shanghai Honeymoon by Shockley-Hausman-Melrose 1926)
On our Chinese honeymoon in the merry month of June.
Just you and I together, where the honeysuckle bloom.
We’ll buy a toy balloon and sail up to the moon.
In the land of tea and roses, on our Chinese honeymoon.
The Ball Game (words by Jack Norworth 1908; Music by Albert von Tilzer)
Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.
I don’t care if I never get back so it’s root, root, root for the home team.
If they don’t win it’s a shame. For it’s 1-2-3 strikes your out,
At the old ball game
Take me out to the ball game take me out
To the crowd buy me some
Peanuts and crackerjacks I don’t care
If I never get back so it’s root, root, root for
The home team if they don’t
Win it’s a shame for it’s one
Two, three strikes you’re out
At the old ball game…

Infant Joy (William Blake 1757-1827)
I have no name; I am but one day old. “What shall I call thee?”
I happy am, Joy is my name. “Sweet Joy befall thee.”
Pretty Joy; sweet Joy but two days old. Sweet Joy I call thee.
Thou doest smile; I sing the while. Sweet Joy befall thee.
My Pretty Maid (Traditional Nursery Rhyme)
Where are you going to my pretty maid? Where are you going to my pretty maid?
“I’m going a milking, sir”, she said, “Sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “I’m going a milking, sir,” she said.
May I come with you my pretty maid? May I come with you my pretty maid?
“Yes, if you please, kind sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “Yes, if you please, kind sir,” she said.
What is your fortune my pretty maid? What is your fortune my pretty maid?
“My fate is my fortune, sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “My fate is my fortune, sir,” she said.
Then I can’t marry you my pretty maid. Then I can’t marry you my pretty maid.
“Nobody asked you, sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “Sir,” she said, “Nobody asked you, sir,” she said.
Windy Nights (Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-1894)
Whenever the moon and stars are set. Whenever the wind is high.
All night long in the dark and wet a man comes riding by
Late in the night when the fires are out, why does he gallop and gallop about
Whenever the trees are crying aloud and ships are tossed at sea
By on the highway low and loud, by at the gallop goes he
By at the gallop he goes and then, by he comes back at the gallop again
Pack She Back (Jamaican Folk Song)
Pack she back to she ma, oh I pack she back to she ma
Such a lazy girl like Jessie Malone, I pack she back to she ma
A pretty little girl like Jessie Malone she lazy since she born
The girl wouldn’t cook she wouldn’t read a book so I pack she back to she ma

SEARCHING FOR A WHALE
The rock will be our ship – the tree will be our sail
Heave ho and away we go searching for a whaleHeave ho and away we go searching for a whale
The stones are floating islands – our dog is a friendly seal
Heave ho and away we go searching for a whale ] x2
Our sturdy ship can weather many a storm and gale
Heave ho and away we go searching for a whale ] x2
Oh whale we come to greet you – King of the boundless sea
We cheer and shout to see your spout and we’re happy as can be ] x2
But now the day is over – our ship is turning round
We wave from the prow good –bye for now, and we are homeward bound
We wave from the prow good-bye for now And we are homeward bound
BUT! Tomorrow the rock will be our ship - the tree will be our sail
Heave ho and away we go searching for a whale ] x3

Oh the bubbles shine pink and the bubbles shine green
And the bubbles shine purple in the bathtub
And the suds float by like clouds in the sky

Oh the bubbles are soft and the bubbles are nice
I could stay all day in the bathtub
But when I get out again I’ll let the bubbles down the drain
How I love my bonnie bonnie bathtub ] x2
THE SCAREDY SONG
When I get frightened in the night – I call my dad to hug me tight
Lions and tigers, wolves and bears – something is creeping up the stairs
This is the scaredy song – the scaredy songTucked into bed I close my eyes – my hands are shaking - you know why
Witches and dragons in the air – ghost in the closet - I don’t care!
This is the scaredy song – the scaredy song
Shoo to the lion, foo to the bear, boo to the witches in the air
If you’re still here when I count to three – I’ll scare you like you’re scaring me!!!
When I get frightened in the night – I call my dad to hug me tight
Lions and tigers, wolves and bears – something is creeping up the stairs
This is the scaredy song – the scaredy song – the scaredy songThe scaredy song – the scaredy song!
LITTLE STAR © Plato, music: Ann R.S. Limor & Betsy Rosenberg

Mr. Cowboy Cloud – riding in the blue
Where do you ride – when the day is through?
Where do you ride – when you disappear?
Are you somewhere else – or really here? CHORUS

Do you go to sleep - when the sun goes down?
Will you come again – so we can play?
Yippie – tie – yi – yo – yippie tie- yi – yay! CHORUS

I told him I didn’t mean all the hurtful things I said
And I told him I was sorry for all the tears he shed
I didn’t mean to let you down, my bear
Didn’t mean to make you frown, my bear
You know that we will never part
I love you bear – with all my heart My bear is very happy now.

We’ll always be together, we’ll always be together
Together …
He isn’t angry anymore! My Bear…My Bear…
My Bear…My Bear… Shoobee du wap du - ahhhhh

Whisk in the acorns and stir it with your hand!

I’LL BE FINE
When I wake up in the dark – please say good-night to me
Sleep tight to me – see you in the morning light
When I wake up in the dark – please hug me, and cuddle me
Till everything is alright
‘Cause when I wake up – And the room is dark and still
I want you near me – and I always will

The sun will shine – and I’ll be fine
And I’ll be fine – and I’ll be fine!
REVEILLE
Put on your clothes! Put on your clothes!

A bird has feathers - a lamb has wool
You gotta put on your clothes so you can go to school!
A dog has fur – a turtle has a shell
You gotta put on your clothes before they ring the bell!
A porcupine has quills – a cow has a hide
Come on and put on your clothes and I’ll be satisfied!
I put on my pants, I put on my shirt – I put on my socks – That didn’t hurt!
I put on my sneakers – I put on my sweater – I ate my breakfast – now – I feel better!

So I can be a princess – in play school everyday!
OH!
Oh the good and the bad – the happy and the sad
Oh the false and the true – the old and the new
Oh the high and the low – the fast and the slow
Oh the day and the night – the black and the white
Oh the rise and the fall – the big and the small
Oh the short and the long – the end of our song!
