Songs & Rhymes:

Five Little Puppies

Five little puppies were playing in the sun
This one saw a rabbit, and he began to run
This one saw a butterfly, and he began to chase
This one saw a cat, and he began to race
This one tried to catch his tail, and he went round and round
This one was so quiet, he never made a sound.

The Umbrella Song

Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot"
Here's my new umbrella,
Wide and high
It keeps me cozy,
Warm and dry.
If the rain starts falling
From the sky,
Just open me up,
And you'll stay dry!

 

The Vegetable Garden

Sung to: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush"
Here we go round the vegetable garden,
The vegetable garden, the vegetable garden,
Here we go round the vegetable garden,
So early in the morning.

Other verses:
Pull the orange carrots out...
Pick red tomatoes off the vine...
Brown potatoes, dig them up...
Orange pumpkin--heave, ho!...
