You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you,
So please, don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear, while I was sleeping.
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I held my head and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you,
So please, don't take my sunshine away.
ALLIGATOR PIE
By Dennis Lee
Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some, I think I'm going to die.
Give away the green grass give away the sky.
But don't give away my alligator pie.
Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don't get some, I think I'm going to die.
Give away my hockey stick give away my shoe.
But don't give away my alligator stew!
NOBODY LOVES ME
Artist unknown
Nobody loves me everybody hates me,
I think I'll go eat worms!
Big fat juicy ones, teeny weenie tiny ones,
Golly how they wiggle and squirm.
I'll chop off their heads and squeeze out the juice
And throw their tails away.
Nobody knows how I survive on worms,
Three times every day! YUM!
JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER SCHMIDT
Artist unknown
This song is sung several times softer and softer each time, until you're singing in a whisper, yet always singing "Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la" out loud.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, his name is my name too,
Whenever we go out the people always shout,
"There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!"
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

The actions are clear, simply point to the appropriate body part and sing 2 or 3 times speeding up every time! (for a hint see the bottom of the song).
Tony Chestnut knows I love you,
Tony knows, Tony knows.
Tony Chestnut knows I love you,
Tony knows, Tony knows.
Tony Chestnut knows I love you,
That's what Tony knows!
HINT:
Toe- knee - chest (nut) - nose - eye - love (cross your arms over your chest to cross your heart) - you (point to child)
THE CROCODILE SONG
Unknown
She sailed away on a bright and sunny day,
On the back of a crocodile.
"You see," said she, "he's as tame as he could be,
I'll sail him down the Nile".
But …. The croc winked his eye,
As she waved them all goodbye,
Wearing a great big smile.
At the end of the ride, the lady was inside,
And the smile was on the crocodile!
SOMETHING IN MY POCKET
Author unknown
great sung as a round...
I have something in my pocket, it belongs upon my face.
I always keep it close to me, in a most convenient place!
I bet you'll never guess it if you guess a long, long while,
So I'll take it out and put it on it's a great big, beautiful smile!
GREAT GREEN GOBS
By unknown artist
Great, green, gobs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat, dirty little birdies' feet.
Great, green, gobs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts,
And I forgot my spoon! YUCK!
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee.
Won't my daddy be so proud of me.
I'm opening up the window carefully, so my bee can fly away free
Bzzz bzzz bzzz..
Bye bye baby bumblebee!
How can I make an easy costume?
