Songs & Rhymes:

Bumblebee, Bumblebee
(to the tune of: “Jingle Bells”)

Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Landing on my nose,
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Now he's on my toes.
On my arms, on my legs,
And on my elbows.
Bumblebee, oh bumblebee
He lands, and then he goes.

Dancing Bear
(to the tune of: “BINGO”)
There was a bear who loved to dance

And Teddy was his name-o

Left foot, tap tap tap,

right foot, tap tap tap

Both hands clap clap clap

And Teddy was his name-o

There was a bear who loved to dance

And Teddy was his name-o

Jump jump up and down,

Bend and touch the ground,

Turn turn turn around,

And Teddy was his name-o

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream.

Sail, sail, sail your boat,
On the ocean blue.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Boats are great, it's true!
