Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven about you, sea below,
Just a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, baby beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mother home with you, so happy.
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where they dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, baby beluga, sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.
When it's late and you're home and fed,
Curling up snug in your waterbed.
Stars are shining and the moon is bright,
Good night, little whale, goodnight.
Baby beluga, baby beluga, with tomorrow's sun,
Another day has come, you'll soon be waking.
Baby beluga, baby beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mother home with you, so happy.
Actions: Hands together, make the shape of a small whale jumping over the
waves.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me;
Bring back, bring back, Oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Action: As you sing each word beginning with the letter B, change from a
standing to a sitting position and vice versa. All should be standing at
the end of the song. When you have mastered these movements, sing it again,
faster.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low.
Do your ears stand high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when ththey're wet?
Do they stiffen when they dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor.
With a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?
Do your ears hang wide?
Do they flap from side to side?
Do they wave in the breeze,
From the slightest little sneeze?
Can you soar above the nation
with a feeling of elevation?
Do your ears hang wide?
Do your ears fall off,
When you give a great big cough?
Do they lie there on the ground,
Or bounce up at every sound?
Can you stick them in your pocket,
Just like Davy Crocket?
Do your ears fall off?
Dum, dum, da, da,
Da-dum, dum, da, da,
Da-dum, dum, da, da, da, dum, da-dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, da, da,

Scoopin' up the field mice and boppin' them on the head.
Along came the good fairy, and she said:
"Little bunny Fu-fu, I don't want to see you
Scoopin' up the field mice and boppin' them on the head.
I'll give you three chances to change your ways, and if you don't obey, I'll
turn you into a goon."

Up in the air, Junior Birdmen; up in the air, upside down,
Up in the air, Junior Birdmen; with your noses to the ground.
And when you hear the grand announcement: that your wings are made of tin.
Well, then you know, Junior Birdmen, it's time to send your box tops in.
For it takes: 5 box tops, 4 bottle bottoms, 3 coupons, 2
wrappers, and one thin dime!

lacing your fingers. Then, with thumbs under the chin, twist your hands
outwards so that you make goggles for the eyes. On "Upside down," perform a
jet plane swoop outstretched arms. On "Ground," bring the swooping arms as
near to the ground as possible.
In a cabin in the woods, little old man by the window stood.

(Tune: "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight")
Divide the Audience into four parts, and assign each part as follows, "FIRE",
"WATER" "JUMP" OR "SPLAT". after singing it through, do it faster, and/or
"backwards" as shown below.
One dark night when we were all in bed,
Old lady Leary left a lantern in the shed,
And when the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eye and said:
"There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
" FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
WATER! WATER! WATER!
JUMP! LADY, JUMP!
AHHHHHH, SPLAT!
One night dark, when bed we all were in,
Old Leary lady left the shed a lantern in.
And when the kick, cowed it over,
She eyed her wink and said:

" IFER! IFER! IFER!
RETAW! RETAW! RETAW!
LADY! JUMP, LADY!
SPLAT, AHHHHHHH!
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,

Note: Touch each part of the body as you sing it. Second time leave out
word "head", just touch it, and so on. Last verse will be all actions,
no words.

each stanza, repeat all previous sounds and motions.

Notes: Sing as a group song using a new Mother Goose rhyme each time you
sing the chorus, substituting "She threw it out the window" for the last line
of each rhyme and making throwing motions with arms.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cup-board
To get her poor dog a bone.
When she got there the cupboard was bare,
So she threw it out the window!
The window, the second story window!
With a heave and a ho and a mighty throw,
She through it out the window!
Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow.
And every where that mary went,
She threw it out the window!
The window, the second story window!
With a heave and a ho and a mighty throw,
She through it out the window!
Variation: Divide the group into two or more teams. One team
starts by singing a rhyme. As soon as one team finishes, another starts.
A team is eliminated if it fails to start singing as soon as it's turn comes.
(There is an action for each line, when you get to the end you start over
leaving out the words, one line at a time, until at the end, no words.)
Swimming, Swimming, in the swimming hole,
When days are hot, when days are cold, in the swimming hole.
Breast stroke, side stroke, fancy diving too...
Don't you wish you never had anything else to do?
