Bumblebee Song
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Ouch, it stung me!
I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm squishing up the baby bumblebee
Ew, it's all over me!
I'm wiping off the baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
Now my mommy won't be mad at me.

Duck Song
Five little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mama duck said quack quack quack quack
Four little ducks came running back
Four little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mama duck said quack quack quack quack
Three little ducks came running back
Three little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mama duck said quack quack quack
Two little ducks came running back
Two little ducks went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mama duck said quack quack quack quack
One little duck came running back
One little duck went out to play
Over the hills and far away
When the mama duck said quack quack quack quack
No little duck came running back
But then, the papa duck said QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK
And five little ducks came running back
I Like the Flowers
I like the flowers
I like the daffodils
I like the mountains
I like the rolling hills
I like the fireside when the lights are low.
Boom di ada, boom di ada, boom di ada, boom di ada…

The Quiet Song
My hands upon my head I place
On my shoulders, on my face
At my waist and by my side
And then behind me they will hide
Then I raise them way up high
And make my fingers fly fly fly
Clap clap clap and one-two-three
Let’s see how quiet we can be
Sshhhhhhh…
And here are some of the more known songs that we sing at the preschool:
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping
Are you sleeping
Brother John
Brother John
Morning Bells are ringing
Morning Bells are ringing
Ding Dong Ding
Ding Dong Ding
The Grand Ol’Duke of York
Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up.
And when they were down they were down.
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.
One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again
Why did you let it go
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right.
The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round,
round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish,
all day long.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep,
all day long.
The doors on the bus go open and shut.
Open and shut;
Open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut,
all day long.
The baby on the bus says "Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah;
Wah, wah, wah."
The baby on the bus says "Wah, wah, wah",
all day long.
The mommies on the bus go chat, chat, chat;
chat, chat, chat;
chat, chat, chat
The mommies on the bus go chat, chat, chat,
all day long.
The doggies on the bus go “wouf, wouf, wouf;
Wouf, wouf, wouf;
Wouf, wouf, wouf.
The doggies on the bus go “wouf, wouf, wouf,”
all day long.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
The Incy Wincy Spider
The incy wincy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the incy wincy spider
Climbed up the spout again.
Wind the Bobbin Up
Wind the bobbin up,
Wind the bobbin up,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
Wind it back again,
Wind it back again,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap,
Point to the ceiling,
Point to the floor,
Point to the window,
Point to the door,
Clap your hands together, 1, 2, 3,
Put your hands upon your knee.
