Songs & Rhymes:

Underneath the Monkey Tree
Sung to: "London Bridge"

Come and play a while with me
Underneath the monkey tree
Monkey see and monkey do,
Just like monkeys in the zoo!

Swing your tail, one, two three
Underneath the monkey tree
Monkey see and monkey do,
Just like monkeys in the zoo!

Jump around and smile like me
Underneath the monkey tree
Monkey see and monkey do,
Just like monkeys in the zoo!

We're Going to the Moon!
Sung to: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

Climb aboard the space ship,
We're going to the moon
Hurry and get ready,
We're going to blast off soon!
Put on your helmets
And buckle up real tight
Here comes the countdown,
Let's count with all our might:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1--BLAST OFF!!

Five Little Mice

Five little mice on the pantry floor
This little mouse, he peeked around the door
[hold finger crooked]
This little mouse, he nibbled on some cake
[make eating motion with hand]
This little mouse, not a sound did he make
[make "shhh" motion with finger]
This little mouse took a big bite of cheese
[make big biting motion]
And this little mouse, he heard the kitten sneeze!
"ACHOOO!" sneezed the kitten
And "SQUEAK!" they all cried
Then they found their hole and hurried inside!
