Go Sleep in Your Own Bed by Candace Fleming & Lori Nichols

Put Your Hands Up High

(to the tune of "Do Your Ears Hang Low?")

Put your hands up high, put your hands down low

Put your hands in the middle and wave them just so

Put your elbows in the front, put your elbows to the back

Put your elbows to the sides and quack quack quack!

Cock-a-Doodle Quack! Quack! by Ivor Baddiel and Sophie Jubb

Five Pigs So Squeaky Clean

Five pigs so squeaky clean, cleanest you've ever seen

Wanted to go outside and play- Oink! Oink!

One jumped into the mud, landed with a big thud

Now there are four clean squeaky pigs

[repeat until all pigs are messy]

Hungry Hen by Richard Waring

Goodbye Song
