Five Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

5 Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

Five brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Four brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Three brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Two brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

One brave knight
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

3 Little Witches

October 26, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

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

October 26, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

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.

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!

5 Little Witches Sitting on a Gate

Five Little Witches

Five little witches sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “I’m glad it’s getting late.”
The second one said, “There are spiders in my hair!”
The third one said, “Well, I declare!”
The fourth one said, “Trick or treating would be fun!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s run and run and run!”

So, Wooo oooo went the wind.
And out went the light!
And the five the little witches flew out of sight!

Five Little Witches

Five little witches standing by the door. (hold up five fingers)
One flew out and then there were four. (Flying motion with hand)
Four little witches standing by a tree. (four fingers)
One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three. (picking motion with three fingers)
Three little witches stirring their brew. (stir)
One fell in and then there were two. (two fingers)
Two little witches went for a run. (run with fingers)
One got lost and then there was one. (one finger)
One little witch, yes, only one. (one finger)
She cast a spell and now there are none. (make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap).

Climb aboard my broom.

To give a spok or give a fright.

Climb aboard my broom

In 5…4…3…2…1
BOO!

5 little ladybugs sitting on a cool leaf,
Soaking in the sunshine and the soft, warm breeze,
Along came Mr. Bird, as quiet as can be,
And snatched that ladybug off of the leaf!

Soaking in the sunshine and the soft, warm breeze,
Along came Mr. Bird, as quiet as can be,
And snatched that ladybug off of the leaf!

Soaking in the sunshine and the soft, warm breeze,
Along came Mr. Bird, as quiet as can be,

Soaking in the sunshine and the soft, warm breeze,
Along came Mr. Bird, as quiet as can be,
And snatched that ladybug off of the leaf!

Soaking in the sunshine and the soft, warm breeze,
Along came Mr. Bird, as quiet as can be,
And snatched that ladybug off of the leaf!

No more ladybugs sitting on the leaf!
