Song: My Aunt Came Back
Repeat after me song:
Oh, my aunt came back,
Oh, my aunt came back,
From Holland too,
From Holland too,
And she brought with her,
And she brought with her,
A wooden shoe.
A wooden shoe.
(Action: Stamping your foot on the word 'shoe' and keep stamping)
Oh my aunt came back,
From Old Japan,
And she brought with her,
A waving fan.
(Action: Wave fan and continue to stamp foot)
Oh my aunt came back,
From Open Plain,
And she brought with her,
A walking cane.
(Action: Hold cane and move both feet while continuing the fan and the stamp)
More verses:
...From near Kamloops, some hula hoops (Add hula hoop motion)
...From near Algiers, some cutting shears (Add cutting motion)
...From New York fair, a rocking chair (Add rocking motion)
...From Niagara Falls, some ping pong balls (Move head to follow balls)

Song: I Have a Rooster
I have a rooster,
My rooster loves me,
And I feed my rooster
By the greenberry tree.
My little rooster goes
Cock a doodle doo, dee doodle dee doo-dle dee doodle dee doo.
I have a pig, my pig loves me.
And I feed my pig
By the greenberry tree.
My little pig goes oink, oink, oink,
And my little rooster goes
Cock a doodle doo, dee doodle dee doo-dle dee doodle dee doo.

Song: The Cuckoo
3 Part round
'Twas on a summer's evening,
I walked the forest through
When suddenly I heard it,
A sweet and low cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo
Mister Moon, Mister Moon you're out too soon,
The sun is still in the sky.
Go back to bed and cover up your head
Wait 'till the night draws nigh.

Song: Tool Time
(Sung to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus")
The hammer in the shop goes" Bang, bang, bang!",
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
The hammer in the shop goes "Bang, bang, bang",
So early in the morning.
The drill in the shop goes"br-r-r, br-r-r, br-r-r"
The saw in the shop goes "buzz, buzz, buzz:"
The socket wrench goes "click, click, click"
The router in the shop goes "whir, whir, whir"
The measuring tape goes" snap, snap, snap"
