1) If You're Happy and You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it

Then you really ought to show it

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet

If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet

If you’re happy and you know it

Then you really ought to show it

If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet

If you’re happy and you know it, shout hurray

If you’re happy and you know it, shout hurray

If you’re happy and you know it

Then you really ought to show it

If you’re happy and you know it, shout hurray!

If you’re happy and you know it, do all three

If you’re happy and you know it, do all three

If you’re happy and you know it

Then you really ought to show it

If you’re happy and you know it, do all three!

Chorus:

Oh dear, what can the matter be?

Dear, dear, what can the matter be?

Oh, dear, what can the matter be?

Johnny’s so long at the fair

And then for a smile, oh, he vowed he would tease me

He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons

To tie up my bonny brown hair

Repeat Chorus twice

4) Activity Medley

   Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain and

The itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down!

Seven, eight, lay them straight

Nine, ten, begin again

5) Hush, Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word

Papa’s gonna buy you a mocking bird

And if that mockingbird don’t sing

Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

If that diamond ring is brass

Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass should crack

Papa’s gonna buy you a jumping jack

If that jumping jack won’t hop

Papa’s gonna buy you a lollipop

When that lollipop is done

Papa’s gonna buy you another one

If that lollipop is all eaten up

Papa’s gonna buy you a real live pup

And if that real live pup won’t bark

Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

If that horse and cart fall down

You’ll still be the prettiest girl in town

Go this way and that way, this way and that way?

Did you ever see a lassie go this way and that?

Did you ever see a laddie, a laddie, a laddie

Did you ever see a laddie go this way and that?

Go this way and that way, this way and that way?

Did you ever see a laddie go this way and that?

7) My Grandfather's Clock

My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf

So it stood ninety years on the floor

It was taller by half than the old man himself

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born

And was always his treasure and pride

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro

Many hours had he spent while a boy

And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know

And to share both his grief and his joy

For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door

With a blooming and beautiful bride

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering (ticktock, ticktock)

His life seconds numbering (ticktock, ticktock)

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

My grandfather said that of those he could hire

Not a servant so faithful he found

For it wasted no time and had but one desire

At the close of each week – to be wound

And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face

And its hands never hung by its side

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night

An alarm that for years had been dumb

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

That his hour of departure had come

Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime

As we silently stood by his side

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering (ticktock, ticktock)

His life seconds numbering (ticktock, ticktock)

But it stopped short

Never to go again

When the old man died


Donald
8) Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon

Excavating for a mine

Lived a miner forty-niner

And his daughter Clementine

Chorus:

Oh my darling, oh my darling

Oh my darling, Clementine

You were lost and gone forever

Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a feather

And her shoes were number nine

Herring boxes without topses

Sandals were for Clementine

Chorus

Drove she ducklings to the water

Every morning just at nine

Hit her foot against a splinter

Fell into the foaming brine

Chorus

Ruby lips above the water

Blowing bubbles soft and fine

But alas, I was no swimmer

So I lost my Clementine

Chorus


Donald
9) Michael, Row the Boat Ashore

Chorus:

Michael, row the boat ashore, Alleluia

Michael, row the boat ashore, Alleluia

Sister, help to trim the sail, Alleluia

Sister, help to trim the sail, Alleluia

Chorus

Brother, lend a helping hand, Alleluia

Brother, lend a helping hand, Alleluia

Chorus

Jordan’s river is chilly and cold, Alleluia

Chills the body but not the soul, Alleluia

Chorus


Donald

12) Sweet Betsy from Pike

Do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike

Who crossed the wide prairies with her husband Ike

With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog

A tall Shanghai rooster, and an old yeller dog?

Chorus

Sing too ra li oo ra li oo ra li ay

Sing too ra li oo ra li oo ra li ay

The alkali desert was burning and bare

And Ike cried in fear, "We are lost, I declare!

My dear old Pike County, I’ll go back to you"

Said Betsy, "You’ll go by yourself if you do"

Chorus

They swam the wide rivers and crossed the tall peaks

They camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks

They fought with the Indians with musket and ball

They reached California in spite of it all

Chorus


Donald
13) Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and through the woods

To Grandmother’s house we go

The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh

Through white and drifted snow

Over the river and through the woods

Oh, how the wind does blow!

It stings the toes and bites the nose

As over the ground we go

Repeat

Over the river and through the woods

And through the barnyard gate

We seem to go extremely slow

It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the woods

Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!

Hooray for the fun! Is the pudding done?

Hooray for the pumpkin pie!


Donald
14) Billy Boy

Oh where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Oh where have you been, charming Billy?

I have been to seek a wife

She’s the joy of my life

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

Did she bid you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Did she bid you to come in, charming Billy?

Yes, she bid me to come in

There’s a dimple on her chin

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

Did she offer you a chair, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Did she offer you a chair, charming Billy?

Yes, she offered me a chair

She has ringlets in her hair

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy?

She can bake a cherry pie quick as a cat can wink her eye

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

Tell me how old is she, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?

Tell me how old is she, charming Billy?

Three times six and four times seven

Twenty-eight and eleven

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother


Donald
15) Nursery Rhyme

   Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

One for my master and one for my dame

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane

Baa, baa, black sheep have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

   Sin a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie

When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing

And wasn’t that a dandy dish to set before the king?

   Old King Cole

Now Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he

He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, and he called for his fiddlers three

And every fiddler had a fine fiddle as fine as it could be

And a very fine fiddle had he, had he, and a very fine fiddle had he, for

Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he

He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, and he called for his fiddlers three

18) Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond

Where me and my true love were ever wont to go

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

’Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen

On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond

Where in soft, purple hue the highland hills we view

And the moon coming out in the gloaming

Chorus

Oh, you take the high road and I’ll take the low road

And I’ll be in Scotland before you

But me and my true love will never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond

The wee bird may sing, and the wild flowers spring

And in sunshine the waters be sleeping

But my broken heart knows not the heather or the glen

For ’tis blinded by the tears that I’m weeping

Chorus


Donald
19) A-Hunting We Will Go

The dusky night rides down the sky

And ushers in the morn

The hounds all join in glorious cry

The hounds all join in glorious cry

The huntsman winds his horn

The huntsman winds his horn

Chorus:

A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go

We’ll catch a fox, put him in a box, and then we’ll let him go

The clever fox escapes at last

The hounds can’t stop his flight

Then hungry homeward we return

Then hungry homeward we return

To feast away the night

To feast away the night

Chorus


Donald
20) Down in the Valley

Down in the valley, the valley so low

Hang your head over, hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow

Hang you head over, hear the wind blow

Writing this letter, containing three lines

Answer my question, will you be mine?

Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine?

Answer my question, will you be mine?

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew

Angels in heaven know I love you

Know I love you, dear, know I love you

Angels in heaven know I love you
