Hello everybody and how are you?

How are you today?

 

I've been workin' on the railroad,

All the livelong day.

I've been workin' on the railroad,

Just to pass the time away.

Don't you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up so early in the morn.

Don't you hear the captain shouting

"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow,

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.

Someone's in the kitchen, I know.

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

Strumming on the old banjo.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.

Strumming on the old banjo.

 

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream

Rock, rock, rock your boat

Gently to and fro

Watch out! Give a shout!

Into the water you go!

Row, row, row your boat

Down the jungle stream

If you see a crocodile

Don’t forget to scream!

Row, row, row the boat,

Gently to the shore.

If you see a lion,

Don't forget to roar.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the river

If you see a polar bear

Don’t forget to shiver!

Row, row, row your boat

Out into the bay

If you see a pirate ship

Row the other way!

Drive, drive, drive your car

Gently down the street

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a treat!

 

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching

We are the dinosaurs,

WHADDAYA THINK OF THAT?

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching

We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat--

We make the earth FLAT!

We stop and eat our food, when we’re in the mood

We stop and eat our food on the groooouuund

We stop and eat our food, when we’re in the mood

We stop and eat our food, and then we march around   ‘Cause

. . . (Chorus)

 

We stop and take a rest, over in our nest

We stop and take a rest at the end of the day

We stop and take a rest, over in our nest

We stop and take a rest and then you’ll hear us say

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching . . .

And then we Rooaaarrrr!

‘Cause we are the dinosaurs!

Laurie Berkner

 

If you're happy and you know it, shake your egg (2x)

If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it

If you're happy and you know it, shake your egg.

Shake them high, low, behind our backs, fast, slow, in a circle...

 

We’re going to Kentucky

We’re going to the fair

To see the senorita

With flowers in her hair

Shake it baby shake it

Shake it if you can

Shake it like a milkshake

And do the best you can

Shake it to the bottom

Shake it to the top

Shake it ‘round and ‘round and ‘round

Until you make it stop

 

Chugalugalug and a

            toot toot toot

Chugalugalug and a

         toot toot toot

Chugalugalug and a

         toot toot toot

Hear that train a-coming.

Little blue engine sure

         can roll . . . (3x)        

She drinks water, she eats coal.

Stand on the hill and I wave my hand . . . (3X)

I want to ride with the railroad man.

Wish I was in that red caboose (3x) . . .

And they never would turn me loose

There she goes around the

         bend . . . (3x)

Tomorrow she’ll be back again.

With tiny brains (fist to head)

And great big tails (sweep hands behind self)

Dinosaurs can be as big as whales! (hand creating large path low to high above head)

They never giggle (pretend to laugh)

They never weep (pretend to cry)

They just eat – chomp chomp (bend forward and make chewing motion)

And eat- chomp chomp (repeat)

And eat – chomp chomp (repeat)

And sleep! (rest head on hands and snore as loud as you can!) [That’s loud!]

One elephant went out to play

Out on a spider’s web one day

He had such

Enormous fun

He called on another elephant to come

 

One elephant went out to play

Upon a spider’s web one day.

He had such enormous fun,

That he called for more to come.

An elephant and a hippo

Went out to play . . .

An elephant, a hippo and a rhino . . .

But then they all said “We are done!”

 

All the pterodactyls were sleeping very still

Down in a cave at the bottom of the hill

All of a sudden

One of them did cry

“Wake up pterodactyls and fly fly fly!

Fly to the east and fly to the west

Fly all around and then

Fly back to your nest!”

 

Come up horsie, hey hey (4x)

Mama's gonna buy you a little lapdog

Mama's gonna buy you a little lapdog

Mama's gonna buy you a little lapdog

Put him in your lap when she goes off

[Chorus]

Mama’s gonna buy you a little blue bird (3x)

Gonna sing [whistle] when she goes off

Mama’s gonna make you an apple pie (3x)

Hush little baby, don't you cry

[Chorus]

 

Mighty pretty motion

Toodala

Toodala, Toodala

Mighty pretty motion,

Toodala,

Toodala la lady.

Rock old Soney,

Toodala . . .

Clap your hands . . .

Stamp your feet . . .

Goodbye, story time!
