Round and Round
Round and round the garden
Went the teddy bear,
One step, two steps,
Tickle you under there.


Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Teddy bear, teddy bear
turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear
touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear
tie your shoe,
Teddy bear, teddy bear,
I love you.

Baby go up to the sun,
Baby go up to the moon,
Baby go up to the chimney top,
Every afternoon.

Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow.
Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go.

Open Them, Shut Them
Open them, shut them,
Open them, shut them,
Make a little clap clap clap.
Open them, shut them,
Open them, shut them,
Place them in your lap lap lap.
