Dora The Explorer “Hello Song”

Get up on your feet
and to everyone you meet
say hello,hello, hello, hello

When you meet somebody new
first thing you should do
is say hello, hello, hello, hello

Say it high
say it low
say it fast
say it slow!

Get up on your feet
and to everyone you meet
say hello,hello, hello, hello

When you meet somebody new
first thing you should do
is say hello, hello, hello, hello

 “We’re Gonna Dance, We’re Gonna Wiggle” by Jessy Rushing

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Clap your hands, hands hands
Twist you hips, hips, hips
Stomp your feet, feet, feet
Move like this, this, this

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Shake your head, head, head
Rock your knees, knees, knees
And turn around
Once with me.

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe
Walk, walk, walk.
Run, run, run
And then we stop.

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

“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 to show you how I feel inside
I give a face I cannot hide
This is how I look when I am: surprised, mad, happy, tired, scared

 

“I Feel Silly” from “Mr. Mike TV”

I feel silly so I stomp my feet,
Stomp my feet, stomp my feet.
I feel silly so I stomp my feet,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I clap my hands,
Clap my hands, clap my hands.
I feel silly so I clap my hands,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I jump up and down,
Jump up and down, jump up and down.
I feel silly so I jump up and down,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I shake my hips,
Shake my hips, shake my hips.
I feel silly so I shake my hips,
While I sing a silly song.

 

“Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
and we’ll never part.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

 

“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
