Little Boy Blue come blow your horn

The Sheep are in the meadow

The Cows are in the corn.

Where's the little boy who looks after the sheep?

He's under the haystack fast asleep.

Will you wake him? No, not I. For if I do he will surely cry.

Song: Crocodile
She sailed away on a summer day (place one hand on top of other, stick thumbs out to side and row them back and forth as drift hands forward)
On the back of a Crocodile (clap hands three times)
You see, said she, he's as tame as can be (point and shake index finger as talk)
I'll ride him down the Nile (place one hand on top of other, stick thumbs out to side and row them back and forth as drift hands forward)
The Croc winked his eye (wink)
as she bade them all good-bye (wave good-bye)
wearing a happy smile (smile)
At the end of the ride (place one hand on top of other, stick thumbs out to side and row them back and forth as drift hands forward)
The Lady was inside (pat tummy)
And the smile was on the crocodile.

Five Little Kittens standing in a row                    (hold up left hand, extend fingers, count)
They nod their hands to the children so.             (bend fingers forward)
They run to the left, they run to the right.             (wiggle fingers to the left, then to the right)
They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight   (stretch fingers up slowly)
Along comes a dog, who's in for some fun.       (move right fist slowly towards stretching fingers)
M-e-ow, see those kittens run.                            (run and hide left fingers behind your back)

Five red apples hanging in a tree (Hold up five fingers) The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown (Fingers flutter downward)
And one little apple came tumbling down (lower one finger)

Four red apples, hanging in a tree, (Hold up four fingers) The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown (Fingers flutter downward)
And one little apple came tumbling down (lower one finger)

Three red apples, hanging in a tree, (Hold up three fingers) The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown (Fingers flutter downward)
And one little apple came tumbling down (lower one finger)

Two red apples, hanging in a tree, (Hold up two fingers) The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown (Fingers flutter downward)
And one little apple came tumbling down (lower one finger)

One red apples, hanging in a tree, (Hold up two fingers) The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown (Fingers flutter downward)
And one little apple came tumbling down (lower one finger)
No red apples, hanging in a tree, (Hold up hand with all fingers down)
