A Song

The teensy weensy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rains and washed the spider out,
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the teensy weensy spider went up the spout again.


 

Submitter comment:

It should be noted that while the child is singing this song he or she usually performs the hand motions indicating the actions in the song. Ex., the spider climbing the spout etc.

Old MacDonald's Farm

Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.
And on his farm he had a pig, e-i-e-i-o.
With an oink-oink here, and an oink-oink there,
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink-oink,
Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.
And on his farm he had a cow, e-i-e-i-o.
With a moo-moo here, and a moo-moo there,
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo,
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink-oinkl
Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.
And on his far, etc., (adding a different animal sound each time, and repeating the animal sounds that preceeded).

Limerick

A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned
So what could they do?
Said the flea, "Let us fly!"
Said the fly, "Let us flea!"
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

I found a bird in the snow;
Whence it came I do not know.
I teased it with a piece of bread,
And then I crushed its little head.
