Mama Don’t Allow
Mama don’t allow no music played around here
Mama don’t allow no music played around here
We don’t care what mama don’t allow
We’re gonna play our music anyhow
Mama don’t allow no music played around here
Mama don’t allow no hand clapping around here (R)
Mama don’t allow no foot stomping around here (R)
Mama don’t allow no lip smacking around here (R)

Out In the Barnyard (tune: Down by the Station)
Out in the barnyard, early in the morning,
You can hear the piggies squealing up a storm
Here comes the farmer, he will feed his piggies
Oink oink oink oink on the farm!
Beth Maddigan
Piggie Song (tune: Wheels on the Bus)
The tails of the pig curls round and round
Round and round, round and round
The tails of the pig curls round and round
All through the mud
The mouth of the pig goes oink oink oink
Oink oink oink, oink oink oink
The mouth of the pig goes oink oink oink
All through the mud
The feet of the pig goes run run run
Run run run, run run run
The feet of the pig goes run run run
All through the mud
The ears of the pig goes twitch, etc
Grandpa’s Farm
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a big brown cow
Down on Grandpa’s farm there is a big brown cow
And the cow, it makes a sound like this: “MOO”
The cow, it makes a sound like this: “MOO”
We’re on the way, we’re on the way, on the way
To Grandpa’s farm,
We’re on the way, we’re on the way, on the way
to Grandpa’s farm!

Five Little Snowmen Fat
Five little snowmen fat
Each wore a different hat
Along came the sun and melted one

Four little snowmen fat….etc…
5 Happy Snowmen
5 happy snowmen riding on a sled
1 fell off and bumped his head
Frosty called the doctor and the doctor said
“no more snowmen riding on a sled!”

The snout of the pig goes root, etc
The eyes of the pig goes sleep, the end….
5 Frogs
By Charlie Hope
Oh, there were 5 frogs,
5 frogs, 5 frogs,
Sitting on a log, log, log
And they were eating toast with jam
All day…
When a lily pad appeared
And they all together cheered! (hooray!)
And there were 4 frogs,
4 frogs, 4 frogs
Sitting on a log all day!
(Keep the count going down with different types of food until
You get to zero frogs.)
There were 5 frogs, 5 frogs,
5 frogs sitting on a lily pad
Eating FLIES with their sticky tongues
All day!!! (recorded on TNT Live! With Tricia)
Hibernation
Hibernation, time for hibernation
Hibernation, time to go to sleep
In the winter, where’s the bear?
Sleeping in his log or lair
Where’s the bear?
log or lair!
OOOhhhhh!
Hibernation, time for hibernation
Hibernation, time to go to sleep!
In the winter, where’s the frog?
Sleeping by a pond or log
In the winter, where’s the snake?
In the mud beneath the lake
In the winter, where’s the bat
In the cave is where it’s at
I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly
OOOhhhhhh (chorus and end)
Perhaps she’ll cry…
She’s full, of course! Use an old woman puppet with rhyming cards to extend activity.
I Am A Pizza by Peter Alsop
I am a Pizza
onions and mushrooms,
I am a pizza
into the car and…
With extra cheese
oregano
peppers on top
upside down
From tomatoes
I am a pizza
out of the oven
I am a pizza
Sauce is squeezed
ready to go.
Into the box.
Dropped on the ground.
I was a pizza
I was the best
I was a pizza
Now I’m a mess….

And on that plane he had some wings
Vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom

Everywhere a vroom vroom
