“The Sniggle Song”

Oh, I have a sniggle for my friend.
Oh, I have a sniggle for my friend.
Oh, it’s so nice that I’ll sing it twice.
I have a sniggle for my friend.
“Diddle Diddle Dumpling”

Diddle diddle dumpling, dumpling dumpling, diddle diddle dumpling, my son John.
Went to bed with his stockings, stockings, went to bed with his stockings on.
One, one shoe off.
One, one shoe on.
Diddle diddle dumpling, diddle diddle dumpling, diddle diddle dumpling, my son John.
"Whistling Cowhand"

{hand’s}
Oh, a cow {girl’s } life is a mighty fine life;
Working all the day,
sleeping all the night.
If I do my chores or I ride my horse,
I can always whistle a song.
“Hey Diddle Diddle”

Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.______________
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
and the dish (clap) ran (clap) away with the spoon.
“Worms”

Worms, worms, worms, crawling in the ground;
Worms, worms, worms, crawling all around.

Fat worms, thin worms, wiggling, wiggling;
Short worms, long worms, squiggling, squiggling.

Worms, worms, worms, crawling in the ground;
Worms, worms, worms, crawling all around.

If I was a wiggle worm, wiggle worm, I would wiggle like this.
If I was a squiggle worm, squiggle worm, I would squiggle like this.
“Little Betty Blue”

Little Betty Blue lost her holiday shoe.
What can little Betty do?
Find her another to match the other.
Now she can walk___ in two. Ooo!
Now she can walk___ in two.
“Sing a Song of September”

Sing a song, sing a song of September.
Sing a song of the falling leaves.

Sing of friends and school and winds so cool.
Sing of birds and squirrels and boys and girls.

Sing a song of September.
Sing about September.
Sing a sweet September song.
“Roses are Red”

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet and so are you.
Sugar is sweet and so are you.

Roses are green
Violets are black
Teachers are fun and
Ducks go quack.
"Give"

Give a little help to your neighbor,
Give a little smile to a friend,
Oh… Thank the world for all that it gives you,
When you do, the love will come on through.
Give a little, Give a little, Give a little,
Give a little, Give.
"The Animals are my Friends"

The animals are my friends.
The animals are my friends.
We all live together in cold and sunny weather,
the animals are my friends.
Be courteous and helpful too.
You could be friends with a kangaroo.
An elephant or tall giraffe can be your friends and make you laugh.
"How to be a Good Citizen"

Picking the trash up off the street.
Off the street, off the street.
Picking the trash up off the street,
That’s how to be a good citizen.
What can I do? Something that really matters?
How can I do help to make the world a little better?

Obeying rules at school each day,
School each day, school each day.
Obeying rules at school each day,
That’s how to be a good citizen.
What can I do? Something that really matters?
How can I do help to make the world a little better?
"Ride Sally Ride"

Ride Sally ride,
spread your wings and fly to the sky,
Oh Sally ride,
Sally ride.
Take your place in space flying high.
Oh Sally ride.
Sally ride.
You can soar to the moon and the stars thru the sky so blue
and woman too oooh
ride Sally ride Sally ride.
Oh Sally ride.
"Peter Piper"

Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

**Sing the song slowly at first. Each time you repeat, sing faster!
"Rain Rain"

1. Rain, rain Rain, rain.
Falling from the sky. Falling from the sky
Pitter-patter. Pitter-patter.
Oops, it hit my eye. Oops, it hit my eye.
2. Rain, rain Rain, rain.
Falling on my toys. Falling on my toys.
Boom, boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Scary sounding noise Scary sounding noise.
3. Rain, rain Rain, rain.
Falling on my nose. Falling on my nose.
Drip, drip, drip, drip. Drip, drip, drip, drip.
Squishing through my toes. Squishing through my toes.
"Black Cat"

Black cat Black cat what do you think of that Scat!

Purring softly, can’t be seen
He’ll come out on Halloween.

1. Groundhog, Groundhog, come on out and play.
It’s a beautiful, beautiful February day.
The sun is shining and the sky is blue.
Won’t you come on out? I want to play with you.

“What a very nice day. Nice day. Nice day.”
And said, “What a very nice day.”
"Baby Moses"

Where is baby Moses, Moses, Moses?
Where is baby Moses in the river Nile.

He is in a basket (3x)
The princess is swimming (3x)
She finds the baby Moses (3x)

***This song was originally written for preschool age children. If you have older children, you can extend the story of Moses and make up more verses.

Where is baby Moses? – Cup hands over eyes and look for the baby Moses.
He is in a basket – Rock your arms as if you were holding a baby.
The princess she is swimming – Pretend to swim
She finds the baby Moses. Pick up the baby and hold him lovingly.
“Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring”

Ssh! The grass is sleeping.
Look! A flowers peeping.
Listen to the March wind as it whistles thru the trees.

Oooh! My nose is stinging.
Oh! A bird is singing.
Listen to the March wind as it whistles thru the trees.

Goodbye to Winter, Hello to Spring.
Nature is wonderful,
Makes me want to sing.
All the snow is leaving.
Ssh! The trees are breathing.
Listen to the March wind as it whistles thru the trees.
"United"

One voice is a solo, two is a duet, three voices a trio, and four is a quartet.
Ev ‘ry time you add a voice the music gets much stronger.
Singing with each other makes the music last much longer.
United, United.
That’s how to get things done.
