Goosey Goosey Gander/ Old Mother Goose
Goosey goosey gander
Where shall I wander
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady’s chamber
Old mother goose
When she wanted to wander
She would fly through the air
On a very fine gander

Itsy Bitsy spider
Funky Spunky Monkey to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Spider (from jbrary)
The funky spunky monkey
Climbed up the coconut tree
Down came a coconut
And banged him on the knee.
OUCH!
Along came his grandma
To kiss away the pain.
MWAH!
And the funky spunky monkey
Climbed up the tree again!

Open and Shut them
Dream a Little Dream of Me (song with baritone ukulele)
Music by Wilbur Schwandt & Fabian Andree, words by Gus Kahn, Essex Music Inc. 1930
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
“Dream a little dream of me”
Just say goodnight and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn, my dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Oh, hold me tight and tell me you miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream A little dream of you and me
Repeat
Ocean Breaths
Goodbye, Friends
