Alice the Camel

 

Alice the camel had three humps

Alice the camel had three hump,

Alice the camel had three humps,

So go Alice go, bum bum bum

 

(Repeat with 2 humps then 1 hump, then...)

 

Alice the camel had no humps,

Alice the camel had no humps,

Alice the camel had no humps,

So Alice is a horse!

 

Animal Fair

 

We went to the animal fair,

The birds and the beasts were there,

The big baboon by the light of the moon,

Was combing his auburn hair, (pretend to comb hair)

The monkey fell out of his bunk, (clap)

And slid down the elephants trunk, (Say 'weeeee')

The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees,

but what became of the monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey etc.

 

An Old Austrian

 

An old Austrian went a yodelling,

on a mountain top high,

When along came a grizzly bear,

Interrupting his cry...

And he went yodel-eh-hi-hi-ho

Yodel-eh-hi-hi

Grr grr

And he went yodel-eh-hi-hi-ho

Yodel-eh-hi-hi

Grr grr

And he went yodel-eh-hi-hi-ho

Yodel-eh-hi-hi

Grr grr

Yodel-eh-hi-hi-ho

 

*mountain bird - euh, grr grr

*mountain dog, huh huh, euh, grr

*his sweetheart - kiss kiss, huh huh, euh, grr grr

*her father - bang

 

Ants

 

The ants were marching 2 by 2 hoorah, hoorah

The ants were marching 2 by 2 hoorah, hoorah

The ants were marching 2 by 2 the little one ……

And they all went marching across the floor, under the door, down the drain, out of the rain with a bum bum bum

 

The ants were marching 3 by 3 hoorah, hoorah etc etc

 

Baby Bumblebee

 

I'm picking up a baby bumble bee, (pick up in hands)

Won't my mummy be so proud of me,

I'm picking up a baby bumble bee,

Oo, ee, the bee stung me,

 

I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee, (squash in hands)

Won't my mummy be so proud of me,

I'm squashing up my baby bumble bee,

Oo, ee, strawberry jam,

 

I'm licking up my baby bumble bee, (lick hands)

Won't my mummy be so proud of me,

I'm licking up my baby bumble bee,

Oo, ee, the bee's in me!

 

I'm puking up my baby bumble bee, (pretend to be sick)

Won't my mummy be so proud of me,

I'm puking up my baby bumble bee,

Oo, ee, there's my bee!

 

I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee, (pretend to mop)

Won't my mummy be so proud of me,

I'm mopping up my baby bumble bee,

Oo, ee, all gone!

Buffalo Song

Across the Wind swept desert

Where nature knows no bound

A buffalo spied his brother

A lying on the ground

Said the buffalo to his brother

Why do you lie that way

But the buffalo didn't answer

He'd been dead since way back May

Campfire's Burning

(Sung to tune of London's Burning, best when sung in a round)

 

Campfire's burning,campfire's burning,

Draw nearer, draw nearer,

In the gloaming, in the gloaming,

Come sing and be merry!

Cockles and Mussels

 

In Dublins' fair city where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow

Thru' streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive alive oh!

 

CHORUS

Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!

Crying cockles and mussels alive alive oh!

 

She died of a fever and no one could save her

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone

Her ghost wheels her barrow

Thru' streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles and mussels alive alive oh!

Cow Kicked Nelly

 

Oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn

Oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn

Oh the cow kicked nelly in the belly in the barn

The old farmer said it won’t do any harm

 

Next verse, same as the first

A little bit louder and a little bit worse

 

Crazy Moose

 

There was a crazy moose (There was a crazy moose)

And he drank a lot of juice (And he drank a lot of juice)

There was a crazy moose (There was a crazy moose)

And he drank a lot of juice (And he drank a lot of juice)

 

(Chorus)

Singing way-oh, way oh (Singing way-oh, way-oh!)

Way-up, way-up, way-up way-up(Way-up, way-up, way-up. way-up)

Way oh, way oh (Way oh, way oh)

Way-up, way-up, way-up, way-up (Way-up, way-up, way-up way-up)

 

The moose's name was Fred...... he liked to drink his juice in bed

He drank his juice with care......but he spilt some in his hair

All his hair went stiff.......so he combed it in a quiff

His friends began to laugh......so he had to take a bath

As the water went down......Fred the moose began to drown

 

(chorus this time only:)

Singing glug-glug-glug-glug etc.

 

Now let's all count to five......Fred the moose is back alive

(Singing way-oh way-oh...etc.)

Crocodile Song

She sailed away on a lovely summer's day

On the back of a crocodile

"You see" said she "He's as tame as tame can be

For floating down the Nile"

The croc winked an eye as she waved her friends goodbye

Wearing a happy smile

By the end of the ride, the lady was inside

And the smile was on the crocodile.

Cuddly Koala

(Sang to tune of Frere Jacques)

 

Cuddly koalas, cuddly koalas

Possums too, possums too

Wallabies and wombats, wallabies and wombats

Kangaroos, kangaroos

 

Deep and Wide

 

Deep and wide

Deep and wide

There’s a fountain flowing Deep and wide

Deep and wide

Deep and wide

There’s a fountain flowing Deep and wide

Do your Ears Hang Low?

 

Do your ears hang low, do they waggle to and fro,

Can you tie them in a know, can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them o'er your shoulder like a continental soldier?

Do your ears hang low?

 

Do your ears stick out, can you wiggle them about?

Can you flap them all around as you fly around the town?

Can you shut them up for sure when you hear an awful bore?

Do your ears hang low/

 

Do your ears stand high, do they reach up to the sky?

Do they hang down when their wet, do they stand up when their dry?

Can you semaphore your neighbour with the minimum of labour?

Do your ears hang low?

 

Edelweiss

 

Edelweiss, Edelweiss,

Every morning you greet me,

Small and white, clean and bright,

You look happy to greet me,

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow,

Bloom and grow forever,

Edelwiess, Edelweiss,

Bless my homeland forever!
