Five Little Skunks Lyrics

- Category: My Nursery Rhymes
Five little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only four little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Three.
Four
Four little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only three little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Three.
Oh
Three little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot to eat
and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only two little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Oh
Two little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There was only one little skunk
walking along with me. One. Oh
One little skunk went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were no more little skunks
walking along with me.
There were no more little skunks
walking along with me.
Well, now the people were gone
and the park was empty.
It was quite a sight to see.
The five little skunks they had disappeared.
There was no one left but me.
But, then I heard a funny noise
And when I looked around,
much to my surprise
Five little skunks were standing there
right before my very eyes!
One. Two. Three. Four
Five little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
Well, we found a shady spot
and we all sat down underneath
a big old tree.
And we had a picnic that day
five little skunks and me!
And we had a picnic that day
—five little skunks and me!
Silly Shapes Lyrics

- Category: My Nursery Rhymes
Silly, silly shapes. Silly, silly shapes.
Circles, triangles, rectangles, squares.
Silly, silly shapes. Silly, silly shapes.
You can see silly shapes everywhere.
Let’s take a square with two round eyes.
Making circles is a big surprise.
Two silly, silly squares say, How about a nose?
A triangle shape will do, I suppose.
Chorus
Now my square has a circle for each of its eyes.
A triangle nose is just the right size.
A rectangle mouth will make him smile
That’s where we’ll be happy for quite awhile.

Kim Mitzo Thompson, Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand, Hal Wright
One little, two little, three little bumblebees;
Four little, five little, six little bumblebees;
Seven little, eight little, nine little bumblebees;
Ten little bumblebees buzzing all around.
One little, two little, three little bumblebees;
Four little, five little, six little bumblebees;
Seven little, eight little, nine little bumblebees;
Ten little bumblebees buzzing all around.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Ten little bumblebees buzzing all around.
Turkey in the straw Lyrics
- Details
- Category: My Nursery Rhymes
As I was a-goin' down the road
With a tired team and a heavy load,
I cracked my whip and the leader sprung.
I says day-day to the wagon tongue.
Chorus:
Turkey in the straw.
Turkey in the Straw,
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up a high tuck a-haw,
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw.
Went out to milk and I didn't know how.
I milked the goat instead of the cow.
A monkey sittin' on a pile of straw
A-winkin' up at his mother-in-law.
Chorus 2X
I came to the river and I couldn't get across,
So I paid five dollars for a big bay hoss.
Well, he couldn't go ahead
and he wouldn't stand still,
So he went up and down like an old saw mill.
Chorus
Did you ever go fishin' on a warm summer day
When all the fish were swimmin' in the bay
With their hands in their pockets
and their pockets in their pants?
Did you ever see a fishie do the hootchykootchy
dance?
Chorus
A tisket, a tasket Lyrics

A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket.
I wrote a letter to my love
and on the way I dropped it.
I dropped it, I dropped it,
and on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up and put it in his pocket.

The old gray mare
she ain’t what she used to be,
Ain’t what she used to be.
Ain’t what she used to be.
The old gray mare
she ain’t what she used to be
many long years ago.
Many long years ago, many long years ago,
The old gray mare
she ain’t what she used to be
many long years ago.

Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row.
See the engine driver pull the little handle.
Chug, chug, toot, toot, off we go.

Say, say, oh playmate,
come out and play with me,
And bring your dollies three.
Climb up my apple tree.
Cry down my rain barrel.
Slide down my cellar door
And we’ll be jolly friends forever more.
