Songs to sing (you can read these as poems if you don't know the tunes)
Dingle Dangle Scarecrow
1 When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun had gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said!
Chorus. I’m a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that.
3 When all the hens were roosting
And the moon behind the cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud!
Chorus I’m a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that.
Doctor Foster
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester,
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle,
right up to his middle.
And never went there again.
5th of November
Please to remember
The fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason, and plot
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
Oats and Beans and Barley Grow
Chorus. Oats and beans and barley grow,
Oats and beans and barley grow.
Do you or I or anyone know
How oats and beans and barley grow?
1 First the farmer sows his seed,
Then he stands and takes his ease,
Stamps his feet and claps his hands
And turns around to view the land.
Chorus. Oats and beans and barley grow,
Oats and beans and barley grow.
Do you or I or anyone know
How oats and beans and barley grow?
