Lightly Row
Lightly row, gently go
Past tall shadows by our side.
Lightly rowing, gently going,
Wind and stars kiss us goodnight.
Through still waters side by side,
Through night splendor, far and
wide,
Lightly rowing, gently going,
Wind and stars kiss us goodnight.
Honeybee
Honeybee, making honey sweet
For my father, for my mother,
For my sister, for my brother,
Honeybee, making honey sweet
Cuckoo
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, safe with your nestling
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, safe in your nest
Stay close together through stormy weather.
Cuckoo, Cuckoo, time now to rest
French Children’s Song
Sing, dance and play and join our happy circle.
Sing, dance and play and have a happy day.
Tiptoeing lightly, we clap as we’re marching.
Turn toward the circle, we bow as we sing…
Sing, dance and play and join our happy circle.
Sing, dance and play and have a happy day.
Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody, Rhody, Rhody…
Go tell Aunt Rhody the old gray goose is dead.
‘One she’d been saving, saving, saving,
“One she’d been saving, ‘make her bed.
Go tell Aunt Rhody, Rhody, Rhody…
Go tell Aunt Rhody the old gray goose is dead
Claire de Lune
Silver is the moonlight,
Will you lend your pen?
I must write a letter to my dearest
friend.
‘Candle it is dying, light is almost
gone.
Looking out my window, night
has turned to dawn.
Long, Long Ago
Long, long ago, I remember a lad.
He was my boy, my pride and
joy.
Long, long ago, I remember a lad.
He was my boy. He’s your dad.
We walked for miles, sharing secrets and
smiles.
We walked for miles, sharing secrets and
smiles.
Long, long ago, I remember a lad.
He was my boy. He’s your dad.
Little Playmate
Wishing for a playmate?
Find within your own mind
Little playmates playing daytime, nighttime
Wishing for a playmate?
Find within your own mind
Little playmates playing anytime
Find in your heart the song that sings with
others.

Allegretto 1
Up and down and up and down
And up, we ride to music.
Up and down and up and down
And up, we ride on the carousel.
Spinning, spinning, wave to your mom
Spinning, spinning, wave to your dad
Up and down and up and down,
And up, we ride on the merry-go-round!
Winter, Goodbye!
Winter, Goodbye Winter, Goodbye
Icicles melted away. Snowman was gone
yesterday.
Time now to say, winter,
goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye.
Allegretto 2
Little soldiers marching, marching, marching,
Marching to the sound of drums!
Little soldiers marching, marching, marching,
Marching to the beat of rum, tum, tum
Look to see them marching to and fro.
Look to see them follow in a row.
Little soldiers marching,
Marching, marching to the beating of the rum,
tum, tum.
Chant Arabe
Chant Arabe, desert song,
Forms of sand, forms of cloud,
Forms reach out, stretch and roll,
Desert whispers aloud.
Wind whirling, whirling dust and sand
Billowing round dusty human shapes
Wind whirling, whirling dust and sand
Billowing across the land, it whispers,
whispers…
Chant Arabe, desert song,
Forms of sand, forms of cloud,
Forms reach out, stretch and roll,
Desert whispers aloud.
Christmas Day Secrets
Come, come, Christmas day of secrets,
Christmas day of wonder, it’s Christmas day.
Come, come, Christmas day of secrets,
Christmas day of wonder, it’s Christmas day.
Bright surprises, different shapes and sizes,
Special gifts of love are given.
Bright surprises, different shapes and sizes
Special gifts of love…
Come, come, Christmas day of secrets,
Christmas day of wonder, it’s Christmas day!
Allegro!
Head, head, ears, ears,
Fingers, lips and nose, nose…
Hands and mouth and shoulders, hips
and toes
Head, head, ears, ears,
Fingers, lips and nose, nose…
Hands and mouth and shoulders, hips and toes
Eyes and ears but just one nose…
Fingernails and hair that grows
Head, head, ears, ears,
Fingers, lips and nose, nose…
Hands and mouth and shoulders, hips and toes
Mussette
See all the clouds up in the sky,
Pictures are floating by.
See all the clouds up in the sky,
Pictures are way up high.
Elephants, antelopes, bunnies,
Presidents, planes when sunny,
See all the clouds up in the sky,
Pictures are floating by.
