If you’re happy and you know it
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.
If you’re happy and you know it nod your head…..
If you’re happy and you know it stamp your feet…..
If you’re happy and you know it shout ‘we are’……

Well I think I saw a monkey, uh, uh, uh,

Five Fat Peas
5 peas in a pea pod press,
1 grew, 2 grew and
so did all the rest.
They grew and they grew,
And they did not stop,
Until one day the pod went POP!
Big Ballon
Big balloon, big balloon
Bigger than the sun and the moon
Flying high in the sky
Fly and fly and fly and fly.

I Had a Little Turtle
I have a little turtle
His name is Tiny Tim
I put him in the bath tub
To see if he could swim
He drank up all the water
And ate up all the soap
And now he’s sick in bed
With a bubble in his throat
Bubble Bubble Bubble
POP
Going on a Bear Hunt
Chorus
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going to catch a big one
I'm not scared
Been there before
Oh no!
Long grass!
Long wavy grass
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
(chorus)
Mud!
Thick squelchy mud
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch
(chorus)
A river!
A deep swirling river
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Splash, splash, splash, splash, splash
(chorus)
A cave!
A dark gloomy cave
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Got to go through it
Clock, click, clock, click, clock.
We're going on a bear hunt
We're going to catch a big one
I'm not scared
Been there before
What's that?
Two furry ears
Two sharp teeth
It's a bear!
It's a bear!
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Quickly, through the cave, click, clock, click,
clock, click
Through the river, splash, splash, splash,
splash, splash
Through the mud, squelch, squelch, squelch,
squelch, squelch
Through the long grass, swish, swish, swish,
swish, swish
Run quickly,
Close the door,
Bang!
Miss Polly
Miss Polly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick,
So she called for the doctor
To be quick, quick, quick;
The doctor came
With his bag and his hat,
And he knocked at the door
With a rat-a-tat-tat.
He looked at the dolly
And he shook his head,
And he said "Miss Polly,
Put her straight to bed."
He wrote on a paper
For a pill, pill, pill,
"I’ll be back in the morning,
Yes i will, will, will!"
Leo the Lion
Leo the Lion is the King of the Jungle
And his jaws are opening wide
If you hear him roaring
It’s bound to be a warning
That you’d better run away and hide
SSSHHHH
You’d better run away and hide
SSSHHH
You’d better run away and hide
RROOOAAARRR
Build a Little House
I will build a little house with a chimney tall,
A funny sloping roof and a garden wall,
Two big gates that will open wide,
And two tiny little windows you can peep inside,
I will build a little table big enough for two,
Two cosy arm chairs, one for me,
One for you,
Knock at the door and walk right in,
For my tiny little house,
Is as shiny as a bright new pin.
