5 Astronauts at Play

May 28, 2019 by ajpassey 1 Comment

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 Stars and the Moon, Too

5 Little Stars and the Moon, Too

Five little stars shine and shine some more,
One fell to the earth and then there were four.
Four little stars, happy as can be,
One fell to the earth and then there were three.
Three little stars in a sky so blue,
One fell to the earth and then there were two.
Two little stars, having lots of fun,
One fell to the earth and then there was one.
One little star, no to be outdone,
Fell to the earth and then there were none.
The moon came out—what a pretty sight!
He waved to the stars and he said goodnight.

4 Little Stars

4 Little Stars

Four little stars winking at me 
One shot off and then there were three
Three little stars with nothing to do
One shot off and then there were two
Two little stars afraid of the sun
One shot off and then there was one
One little star alone is no fun
It shot off and then there were none

5 Fast Rockets

5 Fast Rockets

Five Fast Rockets

One fast rocket blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Two fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Three fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Four fast rockets blasting off to space.
Here comes another one.
Now they can race.

Five fast rockets; Let the race begin.
They’ll circle the moon,
Then home they’ll zoom!
Who do you think will win?
