Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni
Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy!
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
Chorus
And there was Captain Washington
Upon his strapping stallion.
A-giving orders to his men;
I guess there was a million.
Chorus
Do you know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man?
Do you know the muffin man
Who lives on Drury Lane?
Yes I know the muffin man,
the muffin man, the muffin man.
Yes, I know the muffin man
Who lives on Drury Lane.
Lavender’s blue dilly, dilly
Lavender’s green;
When I am king, dilly, dilly
You shall be queen.
The evening is coming, the sun sinks to rest;
The crows are all flying straight home to the nest.
“Caw!” says the crow, as he flies overhead;
“It’s time little people were going to bed!”
The flowers are closing; the daisy’s asleep
The primrose is buried in slumber so deep.
Closed for the night are the roses so red;
It’s time little people were going to bed!
The butterfly, drowsy, has folded its wing;
The bees are returning; no more the birds sing.
The labor is over, their nestlings are fed;
It’s time little people were going to bed!
Go to bed late
Stay very small
Go to bed early
Grow very tall!
Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening,
Steal across the sky.
Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise;
Sleep, pretty baby, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick
Jack jumped high
Jack jumped low
Jack jumped over and burned his toe

We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a large field of grass.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go through it
Swish swish swish
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a river.
We can’t go under it
We can’t go around it
We’ll have to swim through it
Swim swim swim
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a tree (or mountain)
We can’t go around it
We can’t go through it
We’ll have to climb up it
Climb climb climb
Down down down
We’re going on a bear hunt
We’re gonna catch a big one
But we’re not scared!
Oh no, a cave.
We can’t go over it
We can’t go under it
We’ll have to go in it
Tiptoe tiptoe
I see a shiny nose and two eyes
It’s a bear!
Run out of the cave
Run run run
Climb up the tree (mountain)
Climb down the tree (mountain)
Run run run
Swim through the river
Run run run
Run through the grass
Run run run
Open the door
Shut the door
Run upstairs and
Jump in bed
We’re safe!
