Song Lyrics for Storytime Fundamentals

“Hello Everybody, Yes Indeed”

Hello everybody, yes indeed

Yes indeed, yes indeed
Hello everybody, yes indeed; yes indeed everybody.

Wiggle your fingers, yes indeed

Yes indeed, yes indeed
Wiggle your fingers, yes indeed; yes indeed everybody.

Clap your hands, yes indeed

Yes indeed, yes indeed
Clap your hands, yes indeed; yes indeed everybody.

Let’s read a story, yes indeed

Yes indeed, yes indeed
Let’s read a story, yes indeed; yes indeed everybody.

“Open, Shut Them”

Open, shut them.

Open, shut them.
Give a little clap.

Open, shut them

Open, shut them
Put them in your lap.

Creep them, creep them

Slowly creep them
Right up to your chin

Open up your mouth

But do not let them in.

“Head and Shoulders”

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,

“Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed”

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head
So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head
So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head
So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed

One fell off and bumped his head
So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

One little monkey jumping on the bed

He fell off and bumped his head
So Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

“Wheels on the Bus”

The wheels on the bus go round and round

Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.
(Roll hands over each other)

The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish,

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish"
The wipers on the bus go "Swish, swish, swish"
All through the town.
(Put arms together in front of you and “swish” like windshield wipers)

The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep"
The horn on the bus goes "Beep, beep, beep"
All through the town.
(Pretend to honk horn)

The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink,

Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink, clink"
The money on the bus goes "Clink, clink, clink"
All through the town.
(Pretend to put money in cash box on bus)

The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah!

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!"
The baby on the bus says, "Wah, wah, wah!"
All through the town.
(Fisted hands in front of eyes and rub them like baby crying)

The parents on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh,

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh"
The parents on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh"
All through the town.
(Put pointer finger to mouth to 'shhh')

“Shake Your Hands”

Shake your hands, shake your hands

Give a little clap.
Shake your hands, shake your hands
Lay them in your lap.

Shake your hands, shake your hands

Hold onto your chair.
Shake your hands, shake your hands
Put them in the air.

Shake your hands, shake your hands

Give a little clap.
Shake your hands, shake your hands
Lay them in your lap.

“Five Green and Speckled Frogs”

Five green and speckled frogs

Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
YYYYUUUUMMMM YYYYUUUUMMMM

One jumped into the pool

Where it was nice and cool
Then there were
Four green and speckled frogs
GGGGLLLLUUUUBBBB GGGGLLLLUUUUBBBB

(Repeat in descending order.)

“Ten in a Bed”

There were ten in a bed

And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

There were nine in a bed

And the little one said
"Roll over, roll over"
So they all rolled over
And one fell out.

(Repeat in descending order.)

There was one in a bed

And the little one said
"Good night!" or “Alone at last!”
