The Fox's Foray

A fox jumped out one winter’s night,
And begged the moon to give him light.
For he’d many miles to trot that night
Before he reached his den O!
Den O! Den O!
For he’d many miles to trot that night before he reached his den O!

The first place he came to was a farmer’s yard,
Where the ducks and the geese declared it hard
That their nerves should be shaken and their rest so marred
By a visit from Mr. Fox O!
Fox O! Fox O!

Five Baby Bunnies

Five baby bunnies hopping out to play,
Hopping in the forest on happy Easter Day.

The first baby bunny carried his new cane,
He twirled as he came hopping down the lane.

The second baby bunny came to the river's brink.
Tasted the cool water and took a long, long drink.

The third baby bunny tied her bonnet so new,
Under her chin, a bow of pink, white, and blue.

The fourth baby bunny skipped down the shady lane.
He opened his umbrella just in case of rain.

One big hippo balancing

One big hippo balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
He thought it was such tremendous fun
He called for another hippo to come.

Two big hippos balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
They thought it was such tremendous fun
They called for another hippo to come.

Three big hippos balancing,
Step by step on a slippery rock,
They thought it was such tremendous fun
They called for another hippo to come.

Look at the sneaky crocodile

Look at the sneaky crocodile,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh,
He's swimming down the River Nile,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh.

The crocodile has a swishing tail,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh,
He's swims along and leaves a trail,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh.

The crocodile has two great big jaws,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh,
The crocodile has two great big claws,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh.

See his jaws are open wide,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh,
A little fish is swimming inside,
I-oh, I-oh, I-oh.
Oh no, he's not...he's gone the other way.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn’t know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.

And doesn’t know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
