To Grandmother’s House We Goby Linda Maria Child
Over the river and through the woods,To grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the wayTo carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toesAnd bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods,Trot fast, my dapple gray!Spring over the ground,Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Hush Little Baby (C)
Hush little baby, don’t say a word. Papa’s (Mama’s) gonna buy you a mockingbird.And if that mockingbird don’t sing, Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.And if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke, Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat.And if that billy goat won’t pull, Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover.And if that dog named Rover won’t bark, Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down, you’ll still be the sweetest baby in town.
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say.He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be.And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that daySo he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away"
Down to the village with a broomstick in his handRunning here and there all around the square saying "Catch me if you can"
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic copAnd he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his wayBut he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry. I'll be back again some day"
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go,
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow,In a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the field we go,Laughing all way.
Bells on bobtail ring,Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Take Me Out To The Ball Game (C)

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea belowAnd a little white whale on the go
Baby beluga, oh baby belugaIs the water warm?
Is your mother homeWith you so happy?
Way down yonder where dolphins play,Where you dive and splash all day
Waves roll in and the waves roll out.See the water squirtin’ out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh baby belugaSing your little song;Sing for your friends.We like to hear you.
When it’s dark, and you’re home and fed,Curl up snug in your water bed
Moon is shining and the stars are out.Good night, little whale, good night.

You’ll soon be waking.

Home on the Range
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam,Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus:Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,The breezes so balmy and light,
That I would not exchange my home on the rangeFor all the cities so bright.
Chorus.
Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sandFlows leisurely down the stream;
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding alongLike a maid in a heavenly dream.
Chorus.
Oh, I love these wild flowers in this dear land of ours;The curlew I love to hear scream;
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocksThat graze on the mountain-tops green.
Chorus.
Then I would not exchange my home on the range,Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas lean your ear this way.Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say.
Christmas Eve is coming soon, now you dear old man,Whisper what you’ll bring to me, tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve, when I’m fast asleep,Down the chimney broad and black with your pack you’ll creep.
All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row.Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know.

Come what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrowYou're always a day away!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky TinkertoyI want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasI don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front doorThat's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morningCreeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surpriseWhen I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinocerosesesI only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too
I want a hippopotamus for Christmasa hippopotamus is all I want
Mom says the hippo would eat me upBut then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasThe kind I saw this summer at the zoo
there's lots of room for him in our two car garageI'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morningCreeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surpriseWhen I open up my eyes
To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, or rhinocerosesesI only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

There were ten in the bedAnd the little one said,"Roll over! Roll over!"
So they all rolled over andone fell out
Nine, Eight, Seven….
There was one in the bedAnd the little one said,
"Alone at last!"
Start at a lower number like 5, if the group seems restless.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum treeMerry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh!Kookaburra gay your life must be.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum treeEating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop, Kookaburra, stop!Kookaburra leave some there for me.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum treeCounting all the monkeys he can see.
Stop, Kookaburra, stop!Kookaburra that’s not a monkey, that’s me.
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nailGets a boo-boo in his tail.
Cry, Koockaburra, cry!Koockaburra oh how life can be.

Zooming down the highway, zooming down the highway,
zooming down, zooming down,

Up goes the bridge,Up goes the bridge,
Up goes, Up goes,
Up goes the bridge.(Slowly bending knees to make bent legs)
Under go the boats,Under go the boats,
Under go, Under go,
Under go the boats.(Pushing hands under bent legs)
Over go the airplanes,Over go the airplanes,
Over go,Over go,
Over go the airplanes.(Reaching a hand over your head and bent legs)
Down goes the bridge,Down goes the bridge,
Down goes, Down goes,
Down goes the bridge.(Slowly straighten bent legs)
Zooming down the highway, zooming down the highway,
zooming down, zooming down,
zooming down the highway.(Legs outstretched, palms of hands racing down legs)
