Diddle Diddle
Dumpling
Diddle,
diddle dumpling,
My son, John,
Went to bed
With his stockings on;
One shoe off
And one shoe on,
Diddle, diddle dumpling,
My son, John.
Did You Ever See A
Lassie
Did you ever
see a lassie,
A lassie, a lassie
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that?
Go this way and that way,
Go this way and that way
Did you ever see a lassie
Go this way and that?
Do Your Ears Hang Low
Do your ears hang
low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Down By The Bay
Down by the
bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a bear
Combing his hair
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a bee
With a sunburned knee
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a moose
Kissing a goose
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a whale
With a polka dot tail
Down by the bay?"
Down By The Station
Down by the
station
Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot
Off we go!
Dry Bones
Ezekiel
cried, "Dem dry bones!"
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"

"Oh, hear the word of the Lord."
The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!
Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.
The head bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the thigh bone,

Oh, hear the word of the Lord!
Elephant
Right foot, left
foot, see me go.
I am gray and big and slow.
I come walking down the street
With my trunk and four big feet.
The Erie Canal
I've got a
mule,
Her name is Sal,
Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.
She's a good old worker
And a good old pal,
Fifteen years on the Erie Canal.
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And ev'ry inch of the way I know
From Albany to Buffalo.
Low Bridge, ev'rybody down,
For it's Low Bridge,
We're coming to a town!
You can always tell your neighbor,
You can always tell your pal,
If you've ever navigated
On the Erie Canal.
Low Bridge, ev'rybody down,
For it's Low Bridge,
We're coming to a town!
You can always tell your neighbor,
You can always tell your pal,
If you've ever navigated
On the Erie Canal.
We better get along
On our way, old gal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
Cause you bet your life
I'd never part with Sal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
Git up there, mule, here comes a lock,
We'll make Rome 'bout six o'clock.
One more trip and back we'll go
Right back home to Buffalo.
Low Bridge, ev'rybody down,
For it's Low Bridge,
We're coming to a town!
You can always tell your neighbor,
You can always tell your pal,
If you've ever navigated
On the Erie Canal.
Low Bridge, ev'rybody down,
For it's Low Bridge,
We're coming to a town!
You can always tell your neighbor,
You can always tell your pal,
If you've ever navigated
On the Erie Canal.

Father's Whiskers
(Sung to
tune of: "99 Bottles of Pop")
I have a
dear old daddy, For whom I nightly pray,
He has a set of whiskers that are always in the way.
Oh, they're always in the way, the cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on Daddy's shirt, They're always in the way.
Father had a strong back,
Now it's all caved in
He stepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his chin
CHORUS
Father has a daughter
Her name is Ella Mae
She climbs up Father's whiskers
And braids them all the way.
CHORUS
I have a dear ol' Mother,
She likes the whiskers, too,
She uses them for dusting
And cleaning out the flue.
Fireman, Fireman
Fireman,
fireman, number eight,
Hit his head against the gate.
The gate flew in, the gate flew out,
That's how he put the fire out.
O-U-T spells OUT
And out you go!
Five Green and
Speckled Frogs
Five green and
speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum! Yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four little speckled frogs.
Burr-ump!
Continue with 4,
3, 2, and 1 green and speckled frogs.
