Down by the Station

December 15, 2021 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Down by the Station

Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row.
See the engine driver pull his little lever
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!
Chuff chuff, toot toot, off we go!

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!

This is the way the black cats howl: Meow! Meow! Meow!

This is the way the pumpkins laugh, the pumpkins laugh, the pumpkins laugh
This is the way the pumpkins laugh: Hee! Hee! Hee!

This is the way the night owls cry: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Heh-heh, heh-heh!

With their candlelight.
Ghosts and goblins coming, too.
Watching out for you—Boo!

I’m a Little Witch
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

I’m a little witch with a big black cat (pretend to pet cat)
Here is my broomstick. (Hold imaginary broom)
Here is my hat. (Pretend to place hat on head)
You’d better be careful. (wag finger)
You’d better beware.
