Ants Go Marching

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching one by one,

The little one stops to suck his thumb

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching two by two,

The little one stops to tie his shoe

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching three by three,

The little one stops to climb a tree

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching four by four,

The little one stops to shut the door

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah

The ants go marching five by five,

The little one stops to take a dive

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Way Up High

Way up high in the apple tree (hands above head)
Two little apples smiled at me.(form apples with hands still raised)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shaking motion)
Down came the apples. (drop hands)
Ummmmmmmmm. They were good! (rub stomach)

Autumn Is Here

Acorns drop – plop, plop, plop! (drop to the floor; pat it with your hands)

Colored leaves in the breeze. (twirl like a leaf)

Autumn is here – give a cheer! (jump up and down in excitement)

I can stomp my hairy feet,

Scaring people that I meet.

Hairy feet, that I meet,

Oh!

You will see them on my paws.

Pointy claws, on my paws.,

Oh!

Oh!

I'm A Little Pumpkin (Sung to "I'm A Little Teapot")

 I'm a little pumpkin, Orange and round. 

(Hold arms in circle above head) 

When I'm sad, My face wears a frown. 

(Frown) 

But when I am happy, all aglow, 

Watch my smile just grow and grow!

 (Smile)

If your clothes have any red

Put your finger on your head

If your clothes have any blue

Put your finger on your shoe

If your clothes have any green

Wave your hand so that you’re seen

If your clothes have any yellow

Smile like a happy fellow

If your clothes have any black

Put your hands behind your back

If your clothes have any white

Stomp your feet with all your might
