“This Old Man”

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played two,
He played knick-knack on my shoe;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played three,
He played knick-knack on my knee;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played four,
He played knick-knack on my door;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on my hive;
With a knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

 

 

“This is How I Look” by Jennifer Peyton

This is how I look when I’m sad
This is how I look when I’m sad

I give a face I cannot hide
This is how I look when I am: surprised, mad, happy, tired, scared

 

“Move Your Scarves” by Jenn Batey

Move your scarves up and down, up and down, in the air
Make a circle, make a circle, make a circle in the air

Throw your scarves, higher, higher
Throw your scarves in the air

When it falls down, catch it, catch it
When it falls down, catch it soon

Take it swimming, take it swimming
Take it swimming in the air

Hide it, find it, hide it, find it
Hide it, find it in the air

Move your scarves up and down, up and down, in the air

*A light blanket, t-shirt, or accessory scarf will work great for this song!

 

“You Do the Same” by Jennifer Peyton

Look at me, I’m dancing, You do the same.

Look at me, I’m: moving, spinning, jumping, walking

What am I doing with my: hands, legs, head, hips, nose, eyes

 

“No One Like You” from Sesame Street

I like your eyes
I like your nose
I like your mouth
Your ears, your hands, your toes
I like your face
It’s really you
I like the things you say and do
There’s not a single soul
Who sees the skies
The way you see them
Through your eyes
And aren’t you glad
You should be glad
There’s no one, no one
Exactly like you

“It’s Time to Say Goodbye” by Joseph Pinson

It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye

In Japan, they say Sayonara
In Germany, they say Auf wiedersehen
In France, they say Au revior
And in Mexico, they say Adios

It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye
