Thread Name: Children's songs
Subject: RE: Children's songs
The kids I sing to love these, and some I learned while working in a Headstart:

Fried ham fried ham fried ham Cheese and bologna After the macaroni, we'll have onions Pickles and peppers, and then we'll have some more Fried ham fried ham fried ham

(spoken) Same song second verse, hillbilli talk much much worse!

Add whatever comical accent you wish for as many verses as you can--we did British, baby, hillbilly, etc,.

Little Rabbit Foo Foo was a big favorite--I'll transcribe it if you want.

Also for the little ones "The Froggy Song": Two hands up, thumbs touching fingertips, to represent frog mouths/faces. Your hands open when the frogs talk.

"Gat-GOON" went the little Mr. Frog one day "Gat-GOON" went the Lady Froggy too "Gat GOON" went they both together And their eyes went Woo-Woo-Woo ((Rotate your wrists to "swoon" the frogs'heads)

And they kissed each other (Make the handfroggies kiss) Just like little froggies do Then she said "Goodbye' (Nod hand) And he said "Oh my!" "Gat-GOON! (Kiss-smack 2X) "I'm coming too!" -
