Repeat Songs      

 

 The Littlest Worm

Each line is sung by the Leader and repeated by the group. Then the whole verse is sung again together.

The littlest worm
I ever saw
Was stuck inside
My soda straw!

He said to me
Don't take a sip
For if you do
I'll surely flip!

I took a sip
And he went down
All through my pipes
He surely drowned!

He was my pal
He was my friend
But now he's gone
And that's the end!

The moral of
This story is
Don't tale a sip
Of soda fizz!

The Bear Song 

The other day
I met a bear
A great big bear
Away out there! (repeat) tee hee haha

I looked at him
He looked at me
I sized up him
He sized up me (repeat) tee hee haha

He said to me
"Why don't you run?
I see you ain't
Got any gun!" (repeat) tee hee haha

And so I ran
Away from there
But right behind
Me was that bear! (repeat) tee hee haha

Ahead of me
There was a tree
A great big tree
Oh, glory be! (repeat) tee hee haha

The nearest branch
Was ten feet up
I'd have to jump
And trust my luck! (repeat) tee hee haha

And so I jumped
Into the air
But I missed that branch
Away up there! (repeat) tee hee haha

Now don't you fret
Now don't you frown
'Cause I caught that branch
On the way back down! (repeat) tee hee haha

That is the end
There ain't no more
Unless I meet
That bear once more! (repeat) tee hee haha

And so I met
That bear once more
Now he's a rug
On my bedroom floor! (repeat) tee hee haha

Early In the Morning
(leader sings a line, everyone repeats)

Early in the morning
When I was fast  asleep
I head a little birdie
I hear a little peep
It’s from the little birdy
With the funny name
It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird
So I’m gonna get some birdseed
For my windowsill
It’s just to keep him busy
It’s just to keep him still
It’s for the little birdy
With the funny name
It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird

A what?
(slowly) It’s a kliney-kliney-feegle-fugle-ushen-a-backing-a-beagle-bugle-air-ack-a-splitting- uh-loud-and-blooming bird.
CHIRP CHIRP!!!!!

    (leader sings one line, others repeat)
    (actions in brackets)

    The Princess Pat (egyptian pose)
    Lived in a tree (house formation with hands)
    She sailed across (wave motion in front of body with one hand)
    The seven seas (number 7 with your finger, then make a "C" with one hand)
    She sailed across (wave motion)
    The channel two (two hands tracing a channel, then number 2 on one hand)
    And she took with her (throw a sack over your shoulder)
    A rick-a-bamboo! (trace a wavy figure in front of you going down, bend knees as you go)

    A rick-a-bamboo (same as before)
    Now what is that? (shrug shoulders, hold out hands)
    It's something made (bang one fist on top of the other)
    By the Princess Pat (egyptian pose)

    Sipping Cider Through a Straw
    (leader sings a line, everyone repeats; at the end of each verse the whole group sings the verse again together)
    The cutest boy
    I ever saw
    Was sipping ci-
    der through a straw.

    I asked him if
    He'd show me how
    To sip that ci- 
    der through a straw.
     
    He said of course
    He'd show me how
    To sip that ci-
    der through a straw

    First cheek to cheek
    Then jaw to jaw
    We sipped that ci-
    der through a straw.

    That's how I got
    A mother-in-law
    And fourteen kids
    To call me Ma.

    The moral of
    This little tale
    Is don't sip ci-
    der with a male.
