Can you signal to your neighbor With the minimum of labor, Do your ears hang high?

On Top of Spaghetti To the tune of On Top of Old Smokey
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor
And then my poor meatball, Rolled out of the door
It rolled in the garden, and under a bush
And then my poor meatball, Was nothing but mush
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be
And early next summer, It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce
So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese
Hold on to your meatballs, and don't ever sneeze

There Was an Old Woman – p. 1
There was an old woman
Who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why
she swallowed that fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

Who swallowed a spider,
Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled
Inside her.
She swallowed the spider
to catch the fly.
I don't know why
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old woman Who swallowed a bird. How absurd! to swallow a bird. She swallowed the bird To catch the spider Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled Inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed that fly. Perhaps she'll die.

There Was an Old Woman – p. 2
Who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that! to swallow a cat.
She swallowed the cat
To catch the bird.
She swallowed the bird
To catch the spider
Who wriggled and jiggled and tickled
Inside her.
She swallowed the spider
to catch the fly.
I don't know why
Perhaps she'll die.
Fly…I don't know why she swallowed that fly. Spider…wriggled and jiggled and tickled Inside her. Bird…How absurd to swallow a bird! Cat...Imagine that! To swallow a cat! Dog...What a hog! To swallow a dog! Goat...Just opened her throat, and swallowed that goat! Cow...I don't know how she swallowed that cow! Horse...She's dead of course!

The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus
Go ‘round and ‘round,
‘ Round and ‘round,
‘ Round and ‘round
The wheels on the bus
Go ‘round and ‘round
All through the town.

The Wheels on the Bus (Continued)
The people on the bus go up and down
The driver on the bus says, “Move on back!”
The wipers on the bus go, “Swish, swish, swish”
The babies on the bus cry, “Waaa, waaaaa, waaaa”
The mothers on the bus say, “Shhh, shhh, shhh!”
The lights on the bus go, “On and off, on and off, on and off”
Now, let’s make up our own verses!

99 Bottles of Beer
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall.
