LOVE
GROWS UNDER
|
Love grows under the wide oak tree Sugar floats like
candy Top of the mountain shines like gold When you
kiss your little honey sort of handy. Dreams, dreams,
dreams, dreams Under the wide oak tree Dreams, dreams,
dreams, dreams One for you and me oh baby.

AIN'T
IT GREAT TO BE CRAZY

Boom, boom ain't it great to be crazy
Boom, boom ain't it great to be nuts like us
Boom, boom ain't it great to be crazy

And singing hi hi fiddley ai oh
Hi hi fiddley ai oh oh oh oh
Hi hi fiddley ai oh
Strummin on the old banjo.

CABIN
IN A WOOD
|
In
a cottage in a wood
Little old man at the window stood,
Saw a rabbit running by
Frightened as could be.
"Help me, help me, sir," she said,
"Before the huntsman shoots me dead."
"Come, little rabbit, come with me, Happy we will be."
Actions:
Cottage - draw shape of cottage in air
Little old man at the window stood - hold hands up to
eyes like binoculars looking out window
Rabbit running by - hold hand in "peace" sign with two
fingers extended to look like rabbit ears, and move
hand from one side to the other in "hopping" motion
Frightened
as could be - cross arms across chest and twist from
side to side
Help me, help me - throw arms up in air
Shoots me dead - clap one hand against the other
Come little rabbit - "come here" gesture with finger
Happy we will be - stroke one hand with the other
Keep repeating;
With each repeat replace a line of the song with the
appropriate action until no words are sung.

DO
YOUR EARS HANG LOW
|
Do
your ears hang low
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you throw them over your shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Do your ears hang low?
Yes, my ears hang low
They can wobble to and fro
I can tie them in a knot
I can tie them in a bow
I can throw them over my shouder
Like a continental soldier
Yes, my ears hang low. |

DOWN
BY THE OLD MILL STREAM
|
Down
by the old mill steam
Where I first met you
With your eyes so blue
Just thinking of you.
It was then I knew
That you loved me too
You were sixteen
My village queen
Down by the old mill stream.
Down by the old, not the new,
but the old mill stream
Not the river, but the stream
Where I first, not the second,
but the first met you
Not me, but you.
With your eyes, not your ears,
but your eyes so blue Not green, but blue
Just thinking, not knowing, but thinking of you
Not me, but you.
It was there, not here, but there I knew
Not know, but knew
That you loved, not hate, but loved me too
Not one but too.
You were sixteen, not fifteen, but sixteen
My village queen, not the king, but the queen
Down by the old, not the new, but the old mill stream
Not the river but the stream. |

LONG
SUMMER
|
It's
been a looooooooooooong summer.
What will the birdies do next, the poor things?
They'll fly to the south
with a worm in their mouth
and tuck their heads under their wings.
The poor things! |

WAY
UP IN THE SKY
|
Way
up in the sky (hands thrown up)
The little birds fly (fly with your hands)
Way down in the nest (rock your arms, like holding a baby)
The little birds rest (rest head on hands, ‘sleeping’)
With a wing on the left (‘flap’ left arm and bring behind)
And a wing on the right (same ‘flapping’)
The little birds sleep
All through the night (same ‘sleeping’ action)
SHHH! (whispered) They’re SLEEPING! (shouted)
The bright sun comes up (make a sun)
The dew falls away (falling dew with hands)
Good morning, good morning (throw up hands at each ‘good
morning’)
The little birds say |
|
ROLL
OVER
|
There were five in the bed and the little one said,
(make #5 with your hands)
"Roll
over! Roll over!" (roll motion with hands) |
So they all rolled over and one fell out (roll motion)
And bumped his head and shouted out, (knock on head,
cup hands around mouth)
"Please remember to tie a knot in your pyjamas, (tie
an invisible knot)
Single beds are only made for one, two, three, four!"
(number 1, 2, 3, 4...)
There were four in the bed and the little one said...
There were three in the bed and the little one said...
There were two in the bed and the little one said...
There was one in the bed and the little one said...
(clapping to the beat)
"I've got the whole bed to myself,
I've got the whole bed to myself,
I've got the whole bed to myself,
I've got the whole bed to myself!"

I'M
A NUT
|
I'm a little acorn round (make circle with thumb and
forefinger) Lying on the cold cold ground (wave arm
across front with palm facing down)
Somebody came and stepped on me (stomp foot)
That is why I'm cracked you see (zig zap motion with
forefinger)
I'm a nut (clap clap),
in a rut (clap clap),
I'm crazy (circle finger around ear)
Called myself on the telephone (dial phone)
Just to see if I was home (pretend to answer phone:
pinkie and thumb extended like phone)
Asked myself out for a date (point to self)
Gotta be ready by half past eight! (yell this lyric
while shrugging shoulders with palms upwards like you're
excited)
I'm a nut (clap clap),
in a rut (clap clap),
I'm crazy (circle finger around ear)
Took myself to the picture show (walk with fingers)
Sat myself in the very first row (draw a line with finger)
Wrapped my arms around my waist (wrap arms around waist)
Got so fresh I slapped my face! (slap face)
I'm a nut (clap clap),
in a rut (clap clap),
I'm crazy (circle finger around ear)
