It's Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Yes, it's merry, merry Christmas,
It's time for hanging stockings,
It's time for riding sleighs,
It's time for jolly greeting,
Snow and holly, overeating,
Oh, I love you merry Christmas,
You're the best of holidays
The
snow-man
Snow-man, snow-man, oh, so
white,
What do you do in the dark
of night?
Don’t you want to run and
play
Just as I do during the day?
All day long you stand so
still
There in the field near the
hill.
With dark brown eyes and
laughing face
Don’t you want to change
your place?
Thanksgiving
Turkey in the Straw
Oh, I was a'goin' down a dusty road,
With a team of horses and a great big load;
It was, oh, such a warm and lazy afternoon,
So I cracked my whip and started sing-in' a tune.
Dancin' tonight, dancin' tonight,
Dancin' to-night, dancin' tonight,
Happiest people you ever saw
Will be dancin' together
To the Turkey in the Straw!
Halloween
Five little pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, "My, it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The third one said, "Good folk, beware!"
The fourth one said, "We'll run and run!"
The fifth one said, "Let's have some fun!"
"WOOOOOOOH", went the wind,
And OUT went the light;
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
Treat
(by Jack Prelutsky)
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
Give us something good to eat.
Give us candy, give us cake,
Give us something sweet to take.
Give us cookies, fruit and gum,
Hurry up and give us some.
You had better do it quick
Or we'll surely play a trick.
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
Give us something good to eat.
It's
Halloween (by Jack Prelutsky)
It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
The moon is full and bright
And we shall see what can't be seen
On any other night:
Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
Grinning goblins fighting duels,
Werewolves rising from their tombs,
Witches on their magic brooms.
In masks and gouns we haunt the street
And knock on doors for trick or treat.
Tonight we are the king and queen,
For oh tonight it's Halloween!
The
Fourth of July
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle came to town,
A-ridin' on a pony;
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy;
Mind the music and the steps
And with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Cap'n Goodwin;
The men and boys all stood around
As thick as hasty puddin'.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy;
Mind the music and the steps
And with the girls be handy.
Father's
Day
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again, another day.
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never come here again.
The First of May
The sun is so bright today,
Because it is the First of May.
The sky is so blue today,
Because it is the First of May.
And we are now so gay,
Because it is the first of May.
The first day of May
Is a jolly good day!
The first day of May
Is a Working Class Day!

That's An Irish Lullaby
Over in Killarney, many years ago,
My Mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty, in her good old Irish way.
And I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, That's an Irish lullaby.
Hail Glorious St. Patrick
Hail, Glorious St Patrick,
Dear Saint of our Isle.
On us thy poor children
Bestow a sweet smile.
And now thou art high
In thy mansion above,
On Erin's green valleys
Look down with thy Love.
On Erin's green valleys,
On Erin's green valleys,
On Erin's green valleys
Look down with thy Love.
Happy
Valentine's Day
Funny Valentines
Boys are silly.
Girls are smart.
I love you
With all my heart.
Boys are noisy.
Girls are, too.
You like me,
And I like you.
Mama loves coffee.
Papa loves tea.
I love my teacher,
And my teacher loves me!
The birds won't sing,
The stars won't shine,
If you won't be
My valentine.
It's
Valentine's Day (by Jack Prelutsky)
It's Valentine's Day. And in the street
There's freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.
The wind is fierce. The skies are gray.
I don't think I'll go out today.
But here inside the weather's warm.
There is no trace of wind or storm.
And you just made the morning shine.
You said you'd be my Valentine.
A
Valentine for my teacher (by Jack
Prelutsky)
My teacher's very special,
So I'm making her a heart.
A Valentine that's sure to be
A proper work of art.
I've worked on it all morning,
So it should be ready soon.
I'd like to slip it on her desk
Before this afternoon.
It's colored in with crayons,
And it's trimmed with paper lace
It has flowers hearts, and Cupids.
I can't wait to see her face.
Birthdays
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Peter!
Happy Birthday to you!
Birthdays (Ogden Nash)
My birthdays take so long to start,
They come along a year apart.
It's worse than waiting for a bus;
I fear I used to fret and fuss,
But now, when by impatience vexed,
Between one birthday and the next,
I think of all that I have seen
That keeps on happening in between.
The songs I've heard, the things I've done,
Make my un-birthdays not so un-.
Birthdays (Ogden Nash)
Everything's been different
All the day long,
Lovely things have happened,
Nothing has gone wrong.
Nobody has scolded me,
Everyone has smiled.
Isn't it delicious
To be a birthday child?
