A Camping We Will Go

May 25, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

A Camping We Will Go

(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell“)

A camping we will go.
A camping we will go.
The great outdoors is so much fun,
A camping we will go.

We’ll sleep in out big tent.
We’ll sleep in our big tent.
The great outdoors is so much fun,
We’ll sleep in our big tent.

We’ll make s’mores at night.
We’ll make s’mores at night.
The great outdoors is so much fun,
We’ll make s’mores at night.

I’m a Little Firefly

I’m a Little Firefly

(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
Original words by Amber Passey

I’m a little Firefly
Dark and bright.
You’ll see me appear
On a warm summer night.

First I am gone and
Then I shine bright.
All because of
My blinking light.

Instrumental of I’m a Little Teapot.
