I’m sweeping up my baby bumble bee
Well, I won’t do that again!

God Bless My Underwear (to the tune of God Bless America)

God bless my underwear, my only pair.

Through the rips, through the holes, through the tears.
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothesline in the air.
God bless my underwear, my only pair.

  

Granny’s in the Cellar

Granny’s in the Cellar
Lordy can’t you smell her
She making dirty pancakes on a dirty stove-
Her eyes are full of batter
and it keeps drippin’ on the platter
and the (sniff…… ) keep running down her nose.

chorus:
Down her nose, down her nose
and the (sniff…… ) keep running down her nose.

Repeat faster and faster

 

Green Grass

There was a hole
The prettiest little hole that you ever did see
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around [clap clap]

And in that hole, there was a tree
The prettiest little tree that you ever did see
And the tree was in the hole
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around [clap clap]

Repeat and add on
On the tree, branch
On the branch, twig
On the twig, nest
In the nest, egg
On the egg, bird
On the bird, wing
On the wing, feather
On the feather, flea
On the flea, elephant

(last verse)
And on that flea
there was an elephant
The prettiest little elephant
That you ever did see
And the elephant was on the flea
And the flea was on the feather
And the feather was on the wing
And the wing was on the bird
And the bird was on the egg
And the egg was in the nest
And the nest was on the twig
And the twig was on the branch
And the branch was on the tree
And the tree was in the hole
And the hole was in the ground
And the green grass grew all around and around
And the green grass grew all around

 

Hawaiian Punch (to the tune of the Brady Bunch theme song)

Here’s the story of a Dole banana.
Who was raising three very lovely fruits.
Each of them had peels of gold.

Like their mother.
The youngest one was green

Here’s the story of a ripe papaya.
Who was busy with three fruits of its own.
There were four fruits living in the same tree,
Yet they were all alone

Until one day when Banana met Papaya,
And they knew that they were much more than a bunch.
Yes, this crew would somehow form a fruit drink.
That’s the way they all became Hawaiian Punch!

Hawaiian Punch, Hawaiian Punch!
That’s the way they became Hawaiian Punch!

 

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Eyes, and ears, and mouth and nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

*place hands on head when head is said, hand on shoulders when shoulders is said and so on.
*start song off slow and repeat saying faster until it’s almost impossible to keep up.
