Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot
Off we go!
Eeny, meeny, miney mo.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eeny, meeny, miney mo.

On a spider's web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He asked another elephant to come
Two elephants...
Three elephants...
Four elephants...
Five elephants...
One, two, three, four, five -
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten -
Then I let it go again.
Why did I let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right.

And hair and hips and chin and cheeks,
Ankles, elbows, feet and seat, feet and seat.
Here is the Beehive. Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Watch and you'll see them come out of the hive,
One, two, three, four, five.

I hear thunder! It's no wonder
All that rain keeps coming down!
Is the weather any better
On the other side of town?
If you're happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands!
Stamp your feet...
Touch your knees...
Nod your head...
Say "Hurray!"...
I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout.
Here is my handle.
Here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
"Just tip me over and pour me out!"
It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and he
Bumped his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.
The itsy, bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout.
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain.
And the itsy, bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again.
Five little kittens
Sleeping on a chair.
One rolled off,
Leaving four there.
Four little kittens,
One climbed a tree
To look in a bird's nest.
Then there were three.
Three little kittens
Wondered what to do.
One saw a mouse.
Then there were two.
Two little kittens
Playing near a wall.
One little kitten
Chased a red ball.
One little kitten
With fur soft as silk,
Left all alone
To drink a dish of milk.
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Give a little clap.
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Place them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them..
Creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in.

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home.
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried,
“Wee, wee, wee,” all the way home!
This old man, he played one.
He played knick-knack
On his thumb.
with a knick-knack,
Paddy-whack,
Give a dog a bone.
This old man came rolling home.
Two...On his shoe.
Three... knee
Four... door.
Five... hive.
Six... sticks.
Seven... heaven.
Eight... gate.
Nine... spine.
Ten... once again.
Trot, trot to Boston
To buy a pancake.
When we got there,
There wasn't any baked.
Trot, trot home again,
Met a big snake,
Picked up a stone,
To break his backbone,
And went galloping, galloping, galloping
All... the way home.
In memory of Gordon Kaatz: this was sung to me on my grandfather's crossed legs (I would sit on his foot), at the end of the song he would fling me into the air and then catch me.Two little bluebirds
Sitting on a hill,
One named Jack,
The other named Jill.
Fly away, Jack.
Fly away, Jill.
Come back, Jack.
Come back, Jill.
