October 26, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Three Little Pumpkins

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

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

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!

I’m a Little Pumpkin

October 25, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

I’m a Little Pumpkin

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a little pumpkin short and round.
I grow on the vine and on the ground.
I start as a seed and grow and grow.
Soon I’ll be carved and then I’ll glow!

Instrumental version of I’m a Little Pumpkin

The Squirrel

The Squirrel

Whisky, frisky, hippity-hop,
Up he goes tot he treetop.
Whirly, twirly, round and round,
Down he scampers to the ground.
Furly, curly, what a tail–
Tall as a feather, broad as a sail!
Where’s his supper? In his shell.
Snappity, crackity, out it fell.

5 Little Acorns

5 Little Acorns

Five little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Four little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Three little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

Two little acorns sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came an acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

One little acorn sitting in a tree
Along came Mr. Squirrel as hungry as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Down came the acorn:
Mr. Squirrel was very pleased!

No little acorns sitting in the tree
But Mr. Squirrel is as full as can be.
Then the fall winds blew and rustled all the leaves.
Mr. Squirrel sat down feeling very pleased!

Applesauce

Peel an apple,

Have You Ever Seen an Apple?

(Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)

Have you ever seen an apple, an apple, an apple,
Have you ever seen an apple that grows on a tree?
A red one, a yellow one, a red one, a yellow one.
Have you ever seen an apple that grows on a tree?

Do You Know the Apple Man?

(Tune: “Do You Know the Muffin Man?”)

Oh, do you know the apple man,
the apple man, the apple man?
Oh, do you know the apple man
who likes to play with me?

Oh, he has a great big smile,
a great big smile, a great big smile,
Oh, he has a great big smile
and likes to play with me.

Way Up High in the Apple Tree with actions

February 29, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree (reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Five little apples smiled down at me (Put fingers on cheeks make smile or make circles with hands and put around eyes, like pretending to have binoculars)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake the tree)
Down came the apples (bring hands down wiggling fingers, like failing rain)
Mmmmm, they were good! (rub tummy)

Way up high in the apple tree
Four little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
Three little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
One little apple smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came that apple
Mmmmm, it was good!

Now the apples are all gone!
