What We Are Singing

Deep in the Heart of Texas
The stars at night - are big and bright Deep in the heart of texas. The prairie sky - is wide and high Deep in the heart of texas. The sage in bloom - is like perfume Deep in the heart of texas. Reminds me of - the one I love Deep in the heart of texas. The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi Deep in the heart of texas. The rabbits rush - around the brush Deep in the heart of texas. The coyotes wail - along the trail Deep in the heart of texas. The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl Deep in the heart of texas.
Bluebonnets
Bluebonnets, bluebonnets with your coat so blue. Your bright eyes are shining through the silvery dew. I know you're a dolly offered for the rain. I know you'll come back again to Texas in the Spring.
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Little bunny Foo Foo hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice and tapping them on the head. Down came the Good Fairy, and she said "Little bunny Foo Foo I don't want to see you scooping up the field mice and tapping them on the head."
What Is It?
Tall ears, Twinkly nose, Tiny tail, And -- hop, he goes! What is he? Can you guess? I feed him carrots And watercress. His ears are long, His tail is small. And he doesn't make any Noise at all! Tall ears, Twinkly nose, Tiny tail, And -- hop, he goes!
Grassy, grass, grass

Cloudy cloudy cloud, wind wind wind, rain rain rain, mud mud mud, Doggie doggie, dog runy run run, quickie quick quick, homey home home. Bedy bed bed sheety sheet sheet, sleepy sleep sleep, dreamy dream dream. Dancie dance dance, singy sing sing, grow grow grow, biggy big big.
Growing Song
A farmer once planted some little brown seeds with a pit a pat, pit a pat, pat a pat, pat. He watered them often and pulled out the weeds, with a tug, and a tug, and a tug, tug, tug. The seeds grew tall and green in the sun with a push, push here, and a push, push, there. And a beautiful plant grew from each one.
Spring Is Coming
Spring is coming, spring is coming. Birdies build your nest. Weave together straw and feather. Doing each your best. Doing each your best. Spring is coming, spring is coming. Flowers are waking too. Daisies, lillies, daffodils. All are coming through. All are coming through.
John the Rabbit
Oh, John the rabbit, Yes, Ma’am. Got a mighty habit, Yes, Ma’am. Jumping in my garden, Yes Ma’am. Cutting down my cabbage, Yes Ma’am. My sweet potatoes, Yes Ma’am. My fresh tomatoes, Yes Ma’am. And if I live, Yes Ma’am. To see next fall, Yes, Ma’am. I ain’t gonna have, Yes Ma’am No garden at all, No Ma’am.
Under the Big Chestnut Tree
Under the big chestnut tree. You and me. We are playing happily. Under the big chestnut tree. Ookina kuri no ki no shita de Anata to watashi Nakayoku asobimashou Ookina kuri no ki no shita de.
Bling Blang
You get a hammer and I'll get a nail; You catch a bird and I'll catch a snail; You bring a board and I'll bring a saw, and we'll build a house for the ba-by-o CHORUS: Bling blang, ham-mer with my ham-mer, Zingo zango cutting with my saw. I'll grab some mud and you grab some clay So when it rains it won't wash away. We'll build a house that'll be so strong, The winds will sing my baby a song. CHORUS Run bring rocks and I'll bring bricks. A nice pretty house we'll build and fix. We'll jump inside when the cold wind blows And kiss our pretty little baby-o. CHORUS You bring a ladder and I'll get a box. Build our house out of bricks and blocks. When the snowbird flies and the honeybee comes, We'll feed our baby on honey in the comb. CHORUS
The Friendly Beasts
Jesus, our brother, strong and good. Was humbly born in a stable rude. And the friendly beasts around him stood. Jesus, our brother, strong and good. "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown."I carried his mother up hill and down. I carried his mother to Bethlehem town." "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown. "I," said the cow, all white and red. "I gave him my manger for his bed. I gave him my hay to pillow his head." "I," said the cow, all white and red. "I," said the sheep with a curly horn. "I gave him my wool for his blanket warm. He wore my coat on Christmas morn." "I," said the sheep with curly horn. "I," said the dove from the rafters high, "I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry; We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I." "I," said the dove from the rafters high. Thus every beast by some good spell In the stable dark was glad to tell Of the gift he gave Emmanuel, The gift he gave Emmanuel.

He said, "That's the best!" The Old North Wind is my very best friend. And when we play we make a very, very, very, very, very cold day! Brrrrr!
Jack Frost
Jack Frost is very small I'm sure he's out today and he is busy pinching me when I go out to play. Jack Frost, he pinched my fingers. Jack Frost, he pinched my toes. So I ran into my house and I shut the door and that little Jack Frost couldn't pinch me anymore.
I Go Outside With My Lantern
I go outside with my lantern, my lantern goes with me. Above us shine the stars so bright, down here on earth shine we. So shine my light in the still dark night, Labimmel, Labammel, Laboom. 'Neath heaven's dome till we go home, Labimmel, Labammel, Laboom. We walk with our little lanterns, our lanterns so shiny bright. We wander through the darkness, with winking, twinkling lights. Like stars that swing are the lanterns we bring, Labimmel, Labammel, Laboom. 'Neath heaven's dome till we go home, Labimmel, Labammel, Laboom.

Over the River and Through the Woods
Over the river, and through the wood, To Grandfather's house we go; the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow. Over the river, and through the wood—oh, how the wind does blow! It stings the toes and bites the nose as over the ground we go. Over the river, and through the wood—and straight through the barnyard gate, We seem to go extremely slow, it is so hard to wait! Over the river, and through the wood—now Grandmother's cap I spy! Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

Late Autumn Circle

I'm the wind, I breeze and blow, Mmm--mm, Mm--mm Listen, listen, how I whisper, Mm--mm, Mm--mm, In the tree, listen to me. Here comes a squirrel on scampering feet. Looking for acorns and nuts to eat. Repeat I'm the Wind... Little Chipmunk scurries away Through the leaves so red and gray. Where will he go for winter's rest? In his cozy little nest.
