I Dream of an Elephant (Rubinger)
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!
Thanks for sharing Sing-A-Long Story Time with me!
