Songs:
‘Little Cabin in the Forest’
Little cabin in the forest green.
Little Herbie by the window screen.
Saw a rabbit hopping by – knocking at the door.

Help me! Help me! Was his plea –
Before the hunter exterminates me!
Little rabbit come inside –
Safely to abide.
Safely to abide.

‘Clean Up Song’
Clean up! Clean up!
Everybody, everywhere.
Clean up! Clean up!
Everyone do your share!

‘The Ant Song’
The ants go marching one by one, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching two by two, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching three by three –
The little one stopped to climb a tree.
And they all go marching down in the ground
To get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, boom –
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The ants go marching four by four, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching five by five, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching six by six –
The little one stopped to pick up sticks!
And they all go marching down in the ground
To get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, boom –
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The ants go marching seven by seven, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching eight by eight, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching nine by nine –
The little one stopped to check the time!
And they all go marching down in the ground
To get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, boom –
Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The ants go marching ten by ten, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching ten by ten, hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
The ants go marching ten by ten –
The little one stopped to say ‘The End!’
And they all go marching down in the ground
To get out of the rain.
Boom, boom, boom, booooooooom!


‘The Turtle Poem’
There was a little turtle
He lived by the dock.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on a rock.

He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow,
And he snapped at me!

He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow,
But he didn’t get me!


‘Frog Song’
There once was a green little frog, frog, frog.
Who played in the woods on a log, log, log.
A screech owl sitting in a tree, tree, tree –
Came after the frog with a screech, screech, screech!
When the frog heard the owl, in a flash, flash, flash –
He leaped into the pond with a splash, splash, splash!
(Repeat song singing faster)
