Baby Time Set List

 
"Open, Shut Them"

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap

Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap, lap, lap

Creep them, crawl them
Creep them, crawl them
Right up to your chin, chin, chin

Open up your little mouth but...
Do not let them in!


"Row, Row, Row Your Boat"

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently on the tide
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
To the other side

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
But if you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream!


"Ba-Rump Went the Little Green Frog"

Ba-rump went the little green frog one day
Ba-rump went the little green frog
Ba-rump went the little green frog one day
And his eyes went glunk, glunk, glunk

But we know frogs go
La-de-da-de-da
La-de-da-de-da
La-de-da-de-da
We know frogs go
La-de-da-de-da
They don't go glunk, glunk, glunk


"Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"

Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes and
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes


"Noble Duke of York"

The noble Duke of York
He had 10,000 men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And marched them down again

And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down
But when you're only halfway up
You're neither up nor down


"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
All through the town

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 through the town

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 through the town

The babies on the bus go up and down
Up and down
Up and down
The babies on the bus go up and down
All through the town

(Repeat wipers, doors and end with wheels)


"I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout

When I get all steamed up
Here me shout
Tip me over
And pour me out


"Pop Goes the Weasel"

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought was all in fun
Pop goes the weasel

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
In and out and 'round about
Pop goes the weasel


"Where is Thumbkin?"
Where is thumbkin?
Where is thumbkin?
Here I am!
Here I am!

How are you today, sir?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away


"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


"Riding Game"

This is the way the ladies ride
A jiggety-jog, a jiggety-jog
This is the way the ladies ride
A jiggety, jiggety-jog

This is the way the gentlemen ride
A gallop and trot, a gallop and trot
The is the way the gentlemen ride
A gallop and gallop and trot

This is the way the farmer's ride
A hobbledy hoy, a hobbledy hoy
This is the way the farmer's ride
A hobbledy, hobbledy hoy

This is the way the cowboy's ride
Giddy-up, giddy-up
This is the way the cowboy's ride
Giddy, giddy-up
Whee!
