Hey diddle diddle

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle
(Make fiddling motion with hands)                                             
The cow jumped over the moon
(Sail hand through the air)
The little dog laughed to see such a sight
(Put hand over your eyes)
And the dish ran away with the spoon
(Run fingers from baby’s belly to chin)

 

Humpty Dumpty

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
(Knees up, bounce baby on top)
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
(Knees down, or knees apart so baby “falls”)
All the king’s horses, and all the king’s men,
(Pull baby up on your knees again and bounce away)
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

 

Incy Wincy Spider

Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout                                                        

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain
And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again

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.

 

A bouncing we will go

A bouncing we will go, a bouncing we will go

Hi ho the derry o        

A bouncing we will go
A rocking we will go…
A tickling we will go…

 

The Baby Hokey Pokey

Tune: Hokey Pokey

You put your arms up, You put your arms down

You put your arms up and you wave them all around
And you tickle, tickle, tickle
And you wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
That’s how baby hokey pokey goes

You put your legs up…

You put your baby…

 

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory dickory dock

The mouse ran up the clock (run fingers up baby’s arm)

The clock struck one (hold one finger up)
The mouse ran down (run fingers down arm)
Hickory dickory dock

 

The clock struck two the mouse said BOO!

The clock struck three the mouse went whee!
The clock struck four the mouse said no more!

 

I’m a little baby

Tune: I’m a little teapot

I’m a little baby

I fly high
Here’s the floor and here is the sky
Like a little bird of a butterfly
Now up! I go I’m flying high!

 

This little piggy

This little piggy went to market

This little piggy stayed home

This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy cried wee, wee, wee
All the way home

 

Grand old Duke of York

Oh the Grand old Duke of York

(Stand holding baby under arms)

He had ten thousand men
(letting him hang)
He marched them up to the top of the hill
(Raise baby)
And he marched them down again
(Lower baby)

And when they were up they were up

(Raise baby)
And when they were down they were down
(Lower baby)
And when they were only half way there
(Hold baby at waist height)
They were neither up nor down

 

Round and Round the garden

Round and round the garden Ran the teddy bear,
One step, two step
And tickly under there!

 

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 to and fro
Watch out, give a shout
Into the water you go!

Row, row, row your boat
down the jungle stream
If you see a crocodile
Don’t forget to scream!

 

These are baby’s fingers

These are baby’s fingers
These are baby’s toes
This is baby’s bellybutton

Round and round it goes
