ARE YOU SLEEPING (FRÈRE JACQUES)
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One a penny two a penny - Hot cross buns
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons
One a penny two a penny - Hot cross buns

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the brook,
If you catch a little fish
Please let it off the hook
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the creek,
If you see a little mouse
Listen to it squeak
Row, row, row the boat
Gently to the shore,
If you see a lyin' bear
Don't forget to roar
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Ha ha fooled ya all
I'm a submarine

Brand New Key lyrics
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together
And try them out you see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I ride my bike, I roller skate don't drive no care
Don't go too fast but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
(From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/melanie-lyrics/brand-new-key-lyrics.html)
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl
Oh, yea, yea, oh, yea, yea, yea
Oh, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
I asked your mother if you were at home
She said yes but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out to see
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Oh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
