Flower Garden

May 2, 2016 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Flower Garden

(Tune: “The Farmer In The Dell“)

The farmer plants the seeds
The farmer plants the seeds
Hi, Ho and Cheery-O
The farmer plants the seeds.

The sun begins to shine
The sun begins to shine
Hi, Ho and Cheery-O
The sun begins to shine.

The rain begins to fall
The rain begins to fall
Hi, Ho and Cheery-O
The rain begins to fall.

The plants begin to grow
The plants begin to grow
Hi, Ho and Cheery-O
The plants begin to grow.

The flowers smile at us
The flowers smile at us
Hi, Ho and Cheery-O
The flowers smile at us.

A Song of Flowers

May 2, 2016 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

A Song of Flowers  

(Tune: “Sing a Song of Sixpence”)

Sing a song of flowers, flowers all around.
Flowers that are growing, growing in the ground
Flowers of each color make a pretty view.
Red and orange and yellow.
And blue and purple, too.

Little Flowers

Little Flowers

Little flowers swaying in the breeze,
Turning our faces up to sun and trees,
When the night comes each one nods and sleeps.

Growing

Growing

Seeds are buried deep, deep, deep.
In the sun they sleep, sleep, sleep.
Yellow sun is bright, bright, bright.
Raindrops falling light, light, light.
Gentle breezes blow, blow, blow.
Seed, the little seed, grow, grow, grow

The Flower Song

The Flower Song

(Tune: “Do You Know the Muffin Man“)

Curl up like a tiny seed,
A tiny seed, a tiny seed.
Warm sun is what you need.
Now you can start growing,

Drink the rain and start to rise,
Start to rise, start to rise.
Stretch up tall, arms open wide,
Now a flower’s showing.

5 Fat Peas

Five Fat Peas

Five fat peas in a pea-pod pressed,
One grew, two grew, so did all the rest.
They grew, and grew, and did not stop,
Until one day, to pod went pop.

There Once Was a Turtle

There Once Was a Turtle

There once was a turtle who lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle and he climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me!
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow
BUT HE DIDN’T CATCH ME!

You shall be queen.

Tommy Tittlemouse

Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house.
He caught fishes
In other men’s ditches.

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle-shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
