We’ll make new friends and learn new things! Now let’s all sing along!

Brown Squirrel

Brown Squirrel, Brown Squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail!
Brown Squirrel, Brown Squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail!

Wrinkle up your little nose.
Drop a nut between your toes.
Brown Squirrel, Brown Squirrel
Shake your bushy tail!

I’m a Nut

I'm an acorn, small and round
Sitting on the cold, cold ground
Everybody steps on me!
That is why I'm cracked you’ll see!

I'm a nut! I'm a nut!
I'm a nut! I'm a nut! I'm a nut!

Spooky Dance

It’s a spoooooky dance, a spooky dance!
It’s time for a spooky dance. It’s time for a spooky dance!

Dance like a bat. Dance like a bat.
It’s time for a spooky dance.
Dance like a bat. Dance like a bat.
It’s time for a spooky dance.

OTHER VERSES:

Dance Like a ghost

Dance like a skeleton.

Dance like a zombie.

Dance like a witch.

Fall Leaves

Tune: Jolene, Dolly Parton

Fall Leaves. Fall Leaves.
Fall Leaves. Fall Leaves!
Falling down from trees. Where will you land?
Fall Leaves. Fall Leaves.
Fall Leaves. Fall Leaves!
Falling on my head and on my hand!

Your beauty is beyond compare,
Flaming leaves in the Autumn air.
Red and orange and yellow and brown: Fall Leaves!
Dry and crunchy in a pile.
I step on you and you make me smile.
I rake you up and jump in you: Fall Leaves!

Found an Apple

Tune: Clementine

Found an apple. Found an apple.
Found an apple in a tree.

So I picked it and I shared it,
Half for you and half for me.

I Have an Apple

I have a red apple. It’s just for me to eat.
I have a red apple. It’s gonna be so sweet.
Take a bite! Chew it up!
It’s sweet and so crunchy!
Take a bite! Chew it up!
It’s gonna be yummy!

OTHER VERSES:
I have a yellow apple.
I have a green apple.

I have a brown apple. It’s just for me to eat.
I have a brown apple. It’s gonna be so sweet.
Take a bite! Spit it out! (Blech!) It is  yucky!
Take a bite! Spit it out! (Blech!) It’s disgusting!

Little Farmer

 Chorus:
Hey there little farmer, it is Fall!
Hey there little farmer, it is Fall.
It’s time to go a pickin’. It’s time to go a pickin’.
Hey there little farmer, it is Fall!

Hey there little farmer, pick your pumpkins.
Hey there little farmer, pick your pumpkins.
It’s time to go a pickin’. It’s time to go a pickin’.
Hey there little farmer, pick your pumpkins.

They’ve grown all summer long and now you sing your harvest song.
Your crops have got to grow when the Fall winds start to blow.

Autumn Leaves are Falling Down

Tune: London Bridges

 Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down.
Autumn leaves are falling down, to the ground.

            Orange leaves are falling down.

            Red leaves are falling down.

            Yellow leaves are falling down.
