Fingerplay- Five Little Raccoon

One little raccoon looking for things to do,
Along came another and then there were two.
Two curious raccoons trying so hard to see,
Along came another and then there were three.
Three clever raccoons trying to open the door,
Along came another and then there were four.
Four happy raccoons glad to be alive,
Along came another and then there were five.
Five little raccoons as tired as can be,
Looked up for a place to rest and scurried up the tree.

Song: I had a Little Rooster
I had a little rooster by the barnyard gate, That little rooster was my playmate,
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little cat by the barnyard gate, That little cat was my playmate,
That little cat went meow, meow, meow That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo,
Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little dog by the barnyard gate, That little dog was my playmate,
That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little duck by the barnyard gate, That little duck was my playmate,
That little duck went quack, quack, quack, That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little pig by the barnyard gate, That little pig was my playmate,
That little pig went oink, oink, oink, That little duck went quack, quack, quack, That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little sheep by the barnyard gate, That little sheep was my playmate,
That little sheep went baa, baa, baa, That little pig went oink, oink, oink, That little duck went quack, quack, quack, That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little cow by the barnyard gate, That little cow was my playmate,
That little cow went moo, moo, moo, That little sheep went baa, baa, baa, That little pig went oink, oink, oink, That little duck went quack, quack, quack, That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.

Had a little horse by the barnyard gate, That little horse was my playmate,
That little horse went neigh, neigh, neigh, That little cow went moo, moo, moo, That little sheep went baa, baa, baa, That little pig went oink, oink, oink, That little duck went quack, quack, quack, That little dog went arf, arf, arf, That little cat went meow, meow, meow
That little rooster went cock-a-doodle-doo, Dee-doodle-dee, doodle-dee, doodle-dee-doo.
