I’m a Little Dragon

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)

I’m a little dragon, strong and stout.
Here is my tail and here is my snout.
If I get upset, you better watch out!
I’ll roar, and shout, and stomp about.

Five Little Dragons

Five little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only four little dragons came roaring back.

Four little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only three little dragons came roaring back.

Three little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only two little dragons came roaring back.

Two little dragons went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
Only one little dragon came roaring back.

One little dragon went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother dragon said, “It’s time for your snack,”
But no little dragons came roaring back.

Mother dragon said, “It’s a really good snack!”
And all five little dragons came roaring back.

5 Astronauts at Play

(Tune: “5 Little Ducks Went Out One Day“)

One astronaut went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
He had such enormous fun,
That he called for another astronaut to come.

Two astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Three astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Four astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
That they called for another astronaut to come.

Five astronauts went out to play
Upon the great big moon one day.
They had such enormous fun,
But there weren’t any more astronauts to come.

Five Astronauts at Play was originally published on In the Children’s Room for Flannel Friday

5 Little Raindrops

(Tune: “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider“)

Five little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Four little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Three little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Two little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

One little raindrop dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes that raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

All gone!
