I Hear Thunder (to the tune of Frère Jacques)
I hear thunder, I hear thunder,
Hark don’t you, hark don’t you?
Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops,
I’m wet through (yuk!), so are you.
The Rainbow Song
Take a little bit of red,
(Take a little bit of red,)
And a little bit of orange,
(A little bit of orange,)
Add a stripe of yellow,
(Add a stripe of yellow,)
And a stripe of green,
(And a stripe of green.)
A little bit of blue,
(A little bit of blue,)
A bit of indigo,
(A bit of indigo),
Don’t forget the violet,
(Don’t forget the violet,)
Then what do you know?
(Then what do you know?)
It’s a rainbow,
(It’s a rainbow.)
A little bit of rain, a little bit of sun;
When they come together, they make rainbow fun.
It’s a rainbow,
(It’s a rainbow.)
A wonderful, wonderful, magical, magical, colourful, colourful,
Shining rainbow,
(Shining rainbow.)

Travel songs
Were You Ever In Quebec?
Were you ever in Quebec,
Stowing timber on the deck,
Where there’s a king with a golden crown,
Riding on a donkey.
Hey-ho, and away we go,
Donkey riding, donkey riding,
Hey-ho, and away we go,
Riding on a donkey.
Here’s The Train
Here’s the train, here’s the train,
All aboard, all aboard,
Chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo,
Chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo,
Off we go, off we go.
Here’s the plane, here’s the plane,
All aboard, all aboard,
Chug-a-chug-a-zoom-zoom,
Chug-a-chug-a-zoom-zoom,
Off we go, off we go.
Here’s the boat, here’s the boat,
All aboard, all aboard,
Chug-a-chug-a-toot-toot,
Chug-a-chug-a-toot-toot,
Off we go, off we go.
The Traffic Lights Song
Beep, beep, beep,
I’m riding in my jeep,
Riding in my jeep,
Riding in my jeep.
Beep, beep, beep,
I’m riding in my jeep,
And I come to a traffic light.
It is green on the bottom,
And red on the top.
The green means go,
And the red means stop.
Stop! Stop!

You Brush Your Teeth
Oh, when you wake up in the morning,
At a quarter to one,
And you just want to have a little fun –
You brush your teeth,

You brush your teeth,
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
Oh, when you wake up in the morning,
At a quarter to six,
And you’ve just had a bowl of Weetabix –
You brush your teeth,

You brush your teeth,
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.

One Potato
In my little garden
Promise you won’t laugh
I haven’t any flowers
And I haven’t any grass
But now I’m going to dig and plant
And soon I’ll have a show
With a bit of sun and a bit of rain
There’ll be a lovely row
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
I’m going to grow so many things
I’ll surely never starve
Cabbages and cauliflowers
I won’t do things by halves
I’ll plant a row of runner beans
That grow so very high
With a bit of sun and a bit of rain
They’ll reach up to the sky
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
So if you’re ever down my way
Please drop in for tea
We’ll have lettuces and radishes
They’ll all be grown by me
Tomatoes too and cucumbers
What a lovely spread
And if you do not like that you can always have
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
Promise you won’t laugh
I haven’t any flowers
And I haven’t any grass
But now I’m going to dig and plant
And soon I’ll have a show
With a bit of sun and a bit of rain
There’ll be a lovely row
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes more
