Songs to Sing with Your Baby

  1. The Wheels on the Bus

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. 

The wheels on the busy go round and round, all through the town. 

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish… 

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep…

The doors on the bus go open and shut, open and shut, open and shut… 

The driver on the busy goes “Move on back!” Move on back!” “Move on back!” 

The people on the bus bounce up and down, up and down, up and down… 

The baby on the bus goes “whaa, whaa, whaa,” “whaa, whaa, whaa,” “whaa, whaa, whaa…” 

The mommy on the bus goes “shh, shh, shh,” “shh, shh, shh,” “shh, shh, shh…” 

The daddy on the bus says, “I love you,” “I love you,” “I love you…” 

2. If You’re Happy and You Know It

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

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

If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it. If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands (clap, clap). 

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

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

3. Jelly on the Plate

Jelly on the plate, jelly on the plate, wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, jelly on the plate. 

Biscuits in the tin, biscuits in the tin, shake ’em up, shake ’em up, biscuits in the tin.

Fire on the floor! Fire on the floor! Stamp it out! Stamp it out! Fire on the floor! 

(whisper) Candles on the cake,  candles on the cake, blow them out, blow them out (blow them out). 

4. 5 Green and Speckled Frogs

5 green and speckled frogs, sat on a speckled log 

Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum! Yum! 

One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool 

Now there are 4 green speckled frogs. Ribbit! Ribbit! …. 

5. Down by the Bay

Down by the bay

Where the watermelons grow

Back to my home 

I dare not go

For if I do

My mother will say

“Have you ever seen a bear

Combing his hair 

Down by the bay?” 

6.  5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed 

1 fell off and bumped his head 

Momma called the doctor and the doctor said, 

“NO more monkeys jumping on the bed!” 

4 little monkeys jumping on the bed… 

7. 5 Little Ducks

5 little ducks went out one day 

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said, “quack, quack, quack” 

Only 4 little ducks came back…

Sad mother duck went out one day

Over the hills and far away

Mother duck said, “quack, quack, quack” 

And all 5 little ducks came back! 

8. This Old Man

This old man 

He played 1. 

He played knick, knack on my thumb with a knick, knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone

This old man came rolling home… 

9. B-I-N-G-O

There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-O

B-I-N-G-O

B-I-N-G-O

B-I-N-G-O

And Bingo was his name-O…

10. Old McDonald Had a Farm

Old McDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O

And on his farm, he had a duck E-I-E-I-O

With a “quack, quack” here and a “quack, quack” there

Here a “quack,” 

There a “quack” 

Everywhere a “quack, quack” 

Old McDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O… 

11. Ants Go Marching

The ants go marching one-by-one hoorah, hoorah!

The ants go marching one-by-one hoorah, hoorah! 

The ants go marching one-by-one the little one stops to suck his thumb

And they all go marching down, to the ground, to get out of the rain 

Bum, Bum, Bum! …

12. I’m a Little Tea Pot

I’m a little tea pot, short and stout. 

Here is my handle, here is my spout. 

When I get all steamed up

Hear me shout

Tip me over and pour me out! 

13. Pat-a-cake

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake 

Baker’s man 

Bake me a cake 

As fast as you can

Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with a “B” 

Put it in the oven for  Baby and me. 

14. Sing a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence 

A pocket full of rye 

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie 

When the pie was open the birds began to sing 

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king

The king was in his counting house, counting out his money

The queen was in the parlor eating bread and honey 

The maid was in the garden hanging up the clothes 

When in came a black bird and plucked off her nose! 

15. Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itsy, bitsy spider went up the water spout

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. 

16. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC

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. 

17. Ring Around the Rosey

Ring around the rosey 

A pocket full of posey

Ashes, ashes

They all fall down! 

18. Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes 

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose

Head shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes

19. Tick, Tock

Tick, tock, tick, tock 

I’m a little coo-coo clock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

Now it’s almost 1 o’ clock 

Coo-Coo! …

20. London Bridge is Falling Down

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down 

London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady 

Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay

Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady. 

Wood and clay will wash away… 

Build it up with steel and iron… 

Steel and iron will bend and bow…

Build it up with silver and gold… 

Silver and gold will be stolen away…

Send a guard to watch all night…
