CHORUS: Everything under the sun
Everything under the moon
Sings the Song of Life, Song of Life
Song of Life with a different tune

Ducklings swim in a big blue pond
The big blue pond, a big blue pond
Ducklings quack to sing their song
They go quack! quack! all day long
Duckling quack to sing their song
They go quack! quack! all day long

CHORUS

Kitties play in the golden sun
The golden sun, the golden sun
Kitties meow to sing their song
They go meow! all day long
Kitties meow to sing their song
They go meow! all day long

CHORUS

Horses run thru the wild green grass
The wild green grass, the wild green grass
Horses neigh to sing their song
They go neigh, neigh all day long
Horses neigh to sing their song
They go neigh, neigh all day long

CHORUS:
Everything under the sun
Everything under the moon
Sings the Song of Life, Song of Life
Song of Life with a different tune
Everything under the moon
Everything under the sun
Sings the Song of Life, Song of
Life Song of Life, it’s for everyone

RHYMIN’ TIME by Barb Tilsen
© 2000 Barbara S. Tilsen

CHORUS: It’s rhymin’ time, rhymin’ time

What’re you gonna do in rhymin’ time
Rhymin’ time, rhymin’ time
What’re you gonna do in rhymin’ time

What’re you gonna rhyme with mouse? House!
What’re you gonna rhyme with cat?    Hat!
What’re you gonna rhyme with flower?    Power!

We can build a flower tower
We can do it with superpower
We can fly with polka-dot wings
On whirling winds that whistle and sing

CHORUS

Blue –shoe…red-head…heather-feather

We can tickle with a cockateal feather
Under the chin of a girl named Heather
Tickle a turtle with a worm that wiggles
They’ll shake and shimmer with purple giggles

CHORUS

Sun-fun…stream-dream…frog-bog

We can bounce on a big bullfrog
Through the misty magical bog
We can tango with a tiger fish
Touch her tail and make a wish

CHORUS

FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS

Five little monkeys swinging on a vine
A little monkey said, “This vine is mine!”
And he pushed and he shoved the monkeys all around
‘Til one little monkey tumbled to the ground.

Four little monkeys swinging on the vine
The little monkey said, “This vine is mine!”
And he pushed and he shoved the monkeys all around
‘Til another little monkey tumbled to the ground.

Three little monkeys swinging on the vine
The little monkey said, “This vine is mine!”
And he pushed and he shoved the monkeys all around
‘Til another little monkey tumbled to the ground

Two little monkeys swinging on the vine
The little monkey said, “This vine is mine!”
And he pushed and he shoved the monkey all around
‘Til the last little monkey tumbled to the ground.

One little monkey swinging on the vine
The little monkey said, “This vine is mine!”
And he pushed and he shoved but no one was around
All the other monkeys were playing on the ground.

And all the monkeys said, “You must learn to share!
You push, you shove, it’s really not fair!
If you won’t share, then we won’t play.”
And they climbed up the tree to a branch far away.

And the little monkey thought for a very long time
“Hmm….it’s not so fun to swing alone upon the vine,”
So he called to his friends on the branch far away
“We can take turns, come back and play!”
{Let’s call with the monkey: We can take turns, come back and play!}

Now there’s five little monkeys swinging on the vine
Together they sing, “Both yours and mine!”
They play, they share, swaying in the breeze
Swinging high, swinging low on the vine on the tree.

CHORUS:
Won’t you be my valentine
Valentine, valentine
Won’t you be my valentine Oh, sweet friend of mine
I’m going to make a valentine especially for you
With pink hearts and a teddy bear saying “I love you!”

CHORUS

I’m going to make a valentine especially for you
With cherubs and chocolate kisses saying “I love you!”

CHORUS

I’m going to make a valentine especially for you
With a puppy on a motorcycle singing “I love you!”

CHORUS

I’m going to make a valentine especially for you
With sparkles & a picture of me saying “I love you!” CHORUS

LITTLE CATERPILLAR – By Barb Tilsen
tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider © 2000 Barbara S. Tilsen

The little caterpillar was looking for some lunch
Crawling through the leaves
MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH!
She spun a little cocoon and wrapped herself inside
Zzzz….
And when it was time to wake she was a beautiful butterfly

LITTLE RABBIT & RED BIRD
a finger play by Barb Tilsen
© 2000 Barbara S. Tilsen

Once a little rabbit went hopping thru the woods
Poking and teasing whoever he could
He was feeling so mad, the little rabbit said

“I’m gonna bop somebody on the head.”
He saw a little mouse scurrying by

He reached right down and poked her in the eye
Then he hopped and he hopped all the way home
And he stopped – and he cried – cause he was all alone

Again the little rabbit went hopping thru the woods
Poking and teasing whoever he could
He was feeling so mad, the little rabbit said
“I’m gonna bop somebody on the head.”

He saw a little spider weaving his web
He reached right out and broke all the thread

Then he hopped and he hopped all the way home
And he stopped – and he cried – cause he was all alone

Again the little rabbit went hopping thru the woods
Poking and teasing whoever he could
He was feeling so mad, the little rabbit said
“I’m gonna bop somebody on the head.”

Then the little rabbit heard the Red Bird sing
He jumped up high and bopped her on the wing

“Stop!” sang the bird, “this really must end
Hitting’s no way to make a friend
If you feel angry, then use your words
And I’ll be your friend,” sang the wise little bird
Now the little rabbit plays under the trees
He says what he feels, doesn’t hit or tease
Red Bird flies singing her song – “hm, hm, hm”
And the little rabbit hops and hums right along, “hm, hm, hm!”

GENTLE HANDS by Michael DelMain
© Michael DelMain

I want to have gentle hands
Strong hardworking hands
Hands that play the music
Of every instrument in the band
These are not pinching hands
Never pushing, hitting hands
These are hands with a loving touch
Hands that understand
And they can be building hands
They can be making hands
These are not for fighting
These are not breaking hands
I want to have gentle hands
Celebrating, creating hands
Let us all join hands together
Remember we hold gentle hands
Let us all join hands together
Remember we hold gentle hands

MAKE A CIRCLE LIKE THE SUN – by Barb Tilsen
tune: Skip to my Lou © 2000 Barbara S. Tilsen

Make a circle like the sun
Holding hands everyone
Make a circle like the sun
Circle like the sun

Dance a circle like the moon
‘Round and ‘round, sing this tune
Dance a circle like the moon
Circle like the moon

Make a circle filled with friends
Every circle has no end
Make a circle filled with friends
Circle filled with friends

Dance a circle round the world
Each and every boy and girl
Dance a circle round the world
Circle round the world

Make a circle like the sun
Holding hands everyone
Make a circle like the sun
Circle like the sun

MOTHER GOOSE RHYTHM & RHYME by Barb Tilsen
Hide & Seek Rhyme/Miss Mary Mack by Roy McBride & Lacinea McBride
© 2000 Barbara S. Tilsen

It’s time for a Mother Goose rhyme
It’s neat, can you feel the beat?
Ch, ch, ch, ch….
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle…
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall…
This beat can be a home
For a nursery rhyme or a little poem
Who’s got one?
