Down by the Station

Down by the Station

Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row.
See the engine driver pull his little lever
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!

Here Is the Engine

Here is the engine on the track (hold up thumb)
Here is the coal car, just in back (hold up pointer finger)
Here is the boxcar, to carry freight (hold up middle finger)
Here is the mail car, don’t be late! (hold up ring finger)
Way back here at the end of the train (hold up little finger)
Rides the caboose through the sun and the rain.

The Good-bye train is leaving.
See you soon. Choo! Choo!

3 Little Witches

Three Little Witches

(Tune: “10 Little Indians” also “Bumpin Up and Down in My Little Red Wagon“)

One little, two little, three little witches
Flying over haystacks, flying over ditches
Flying round the moon without any hitches
Hey! Ho! Halloween’s here!

Three Little Pumpkins

One little, two little, three little pumpkins
Sitting on the fence like country bumpkins
The jumped off and bumped their rumpkins
One October night!

5 Little Ghosts

Five Little Ghosts

Five little ghosts flying out the door,
One flew away and then there were four.

Four little ghosts playing happily,
One flew away and then there were three.

Three little ghosts yelling boo! boo! boo!,
One flew away and then there were two.

Two little ghosts having spooky fun,
One flew away and then there was one.

One little ghost caught sight of the sun,
Flew back home and that left none.

5 Little Bats

Five Little Bats

Five little bats came flying in the door,
one flew away and that left four!

Four little bats hiding in a tree,
One flew away and that left three!

Three little bats looking down at you,
One flew away and that left two!

Two little bats looking down at you,
One flew away and that left one!

One little bat hanging all alone,
He flew away and then there were none!

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

October 25, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Pumpkin, Pumpkin is an interactive chant for you and your little one. Hold your baby or toddler on your lap and gently bounce as you chant the words. Sitting on a wall: perch child right on your knee. Tip and fall: rock child side to side, dipping as far as is comfortable. Rolling down the street: Holding child’s hands, roll them like you would in Pat-a-Cake. You’re so sweet: bring child in for kisses or tickles.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Pumpkin, Pumpkin sitting on a wall
Pumpkin, Pumpkin tip and fall
Pumpkin, Pumpkin rolling down the street
Pumpkin, Pumpkin you’re so sweet!

Ghost

The Ghost

I saw a ghost
He saw me too
I waved hello
But he said
Boo!
