I Am The Music Man

I am the music man, I come from down your way

And I can play, what can you play?

I play the piano

Pia, pia, piano, piano, piano, pia, pia, piano, pia, piano


I am the music man, I come from down your way

And I can play, what can you play?

I play the saxophone

Saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxophone, saxophone, saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxo, saxophone,

Pia, pia, piano, piano, piano, pia, pia, piano, pia, piano


I am the music man, I come from down your way

And I can play, what can you play?

I play the big bass drum

Big bass, big bass, big bass drum, big bass drum, big bass drum,

Big bass, big bass, big bass drum, big bass, big bass drum

Saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxophone, saxophone, saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxo, saxophone

Pia, pia, piano, piano, piano, pia, pia, piano, pia, piano


I am the music man, I come from down your way

And I can play, what can you play?

I play the xylophone

Xylo, xylo, xylophone, xylophone, xylophone, xylo, xylo, xylophone, xylo, xylophone

Big bass, big bass, big bass drum, big bass drum, big bass drum,

Big bass, big bass, big bass drum, big bass, big bass drum

Saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxophone, saxophone, saxo, saxo, saxophone, saxo, saxophone

Pia, pia, piano, piano, piano, pia, pia, piano, pia, piano



I Can Tie My Shoelace

I can tie my shoelace

I can comb my hair

I can wash my hands and face

And dry myself with care

I can brush my teeth, too

And button up my frocks

I can say, “How do you do?”

And put on both socks


I Had A Little Nut Tree

I had a little nut tree

Nothing would it bear

But a silver nutmeg

And a golden pear

The King of Spain’s daughter

Came to visit me

And all for the sake

Of my little nut tree

I Hear Thunder

I hear thunder, I hear thunder

Hark don't you, hark don't you

Pitter, patter, rain drops

Pitter, patter, rain drops

I'm wet through, so are you

I Love Little Pussy

I love little pussy, her coat is so warm

And if I don’t hurt her, she’ll do me no harm


I’ll not pull her tail or drive her away

But pussy and I together will play


She’ll sit by my side and I’ll give her some food

And pussy will like me because I am good

I Saw A Ship A-Sailing

I saw a ship a-sailing, a-sailing on the sea

And all it was a laden with pretty things for thee

There were confits in the cabin, and apples in the hold

The sails were made of silk and the masts were all of gold


The four and twenty sailors had stood between the decks

Were four and twenty white mice with chains about their necks

The captain was a duck, with a packet on his back

And when the ship began to move, the captain said, 'Quack, quack'

I Saw Three Ships

I saw three ships come sailing by

Come sailing by, come sailing by

I saw three ships come sailing by

On New Years day in the morning


And what do you think was in them then?

Was in them then, was in them then

And what do you think was in them then?

On New Years day in the morning


Three pretty girls were in them then

Were in them then, were in them then

Three pretty girls were in them then

On New Years day in the morning

 

One could whistle another could sing

And the other could play on the violin

Such a joy was there at my wedding

On New Years day in the morning


I saw three ships come sailing by

Come sailing by, come sailing by

I saw three ships come sailing by

On New Years day in the morning

I See The Moon

I see the moon

And the moon sees me

God bless the moon

And God bless me


If All The World Were Paper

If all the world were paper

And all the sea were ink

And all the trees were bread and cheese

What should we do for drink?

If You're Happy And You Know It

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands

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


If you’re happy and you know it stamp your feet

If you’re happy and you know it stamp your feet

If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it

If you’re happy and you know it stamp your feet


If you’re happy and you know it nod your head

If you’re happy and you know it nod your head

If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it

If you’re happy and you know it nod your head


If you’re happy and you know it shout hooray

If you’re happy and you know it shout hooray

If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it

If you’re happy and you know it shout hooray


Incy Wincy Spider

Incy Wincy spider

Climbing up the spout

Down came the rain

And washed the spider out

Out came the sunshine

And dried up all the rain 

Incy Wincy spider

Climbing up again


It's Raining It's Pouring

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring

He went to bed and bumped his head

And couldn't get up in the morning

Jack A Nory

I'll tell you a story

About Jack a Nory

And now my story's begun

I'll tell you another

About Jack's brother

And now my story's done

Jack And Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down a broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after


Up Jack got and home did trot

As fast as he could caper

He went to bed to mend his head

With vinegar and brown paper


Jack Be Nimble

Jack be nimble

Jack be quick

Jack jump over

The candlestick

Jack Sprat

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean

And so between them both you see

They licked the platter clean


Jelly On The Plate

Jelly on the plate

Jelly on the plate

Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble

Jelly on the plate



(repeat - with lots of wibble and wobble, but don't drop the jelly!)


Jerry Hall

Jerry Hall

He's so small

A rat could eat him

Hat and all

Jolly Miller

There was a jolly miller once

Lived on the river Dee

He worked and sang from morn till night

No lark as blithe than he

And this the burden of his song

Forever used to be

'I care for nobody, no, not I

Since nobody care for me'
