Mr. Turkey

(Tune: “Are You Sleeping?“)

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Run away, Run away
If you don’t be careful
You will be a mouthful

Reindeer Pokey

(Tune: “The Hokey Pokey”)

You put your antlers in. You put your antlers out.
You put your antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!

Additional verses:
You put your hooves in…
You put your red nose in…
You put your fluffy tail in…
You put your reindeer body in…

Slippery Fish

A slippery fish, a slippery fish,
Swimming in the ocean.
A slippery fish, a slippery fish,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a tuna fish!

A tuna fish, a tuna fish,
Swimming in the ocean.
A tuna fish, a tuna fish,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by an octopus!

An octopus, an octopus,
Swimming in the ocean.
An octopus, an octopus,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a great big shark!

A great big shark, a great big shark,
Swimming in the ocean.
A great big shark, a great big shark,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a humongous whale!

A humongous whale, a humongous whale,
Swimming in the ocean.
A humongous whale, a humongous whale,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a human!

Was it you?

Shoeing

Shoe the colt, Shoe the colt,
Shoe the wild mare;
Here a nail, there a nail.
Colt must go bare.

Birds of a Feather

Birds of a feather flock together,
And so will pigs and swine.
Rats and mice have their choice,
And so will I have mine.

Little Kitty

I like little kitty, her coat is so warm.
And if I don’t hurt her she’ll do me no harm.
So I’ll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But kitty and I very gently will play.

The Hobby Horse

I had a little hobby horse,
And it was dapple gray.
Its head was made of pea-straw,
Its tail was made of hay.
I sold it to an old woman
For a copper groat;
And I’ll not sing my song again
Without another coat.

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

Cock-a-doodle-doo,
My dame has lost her shoe.
My master’s lost his fiddlestick,
And knows not what to do.

Sing a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie!

When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

Banbury Cross

Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes.

This is a great one for newborns and infants. You can bounce them on your lap for riding a horse. Then tickle their fingers and toes when you say “fingers” and “toes” in the rhyme.
