It’s as easy as can be
Round and round and round just so
Then, kerplop . . .
Down we go!
Jack is quiet
In his box
Open the lid
And up he pops!

Up, down
Do a little dance!
Feet together . . .

5. The Elevator Song
Oh the city is great and the city is grand
There's a whole lot of people
On a little piece of land
And they live way up on the 27th floor
Here’s what they do when they go out
the door
Take the elevator up and the elevator
down (3x)
And they turn around!

6. Open, Shut Them ♫
Open, shut them (2x)
Give a little clap, clap, clap
Open, shut them (2x)
Lay them on your lap, lap, lap
Creep them, crawl them (2x)
Right up to your chin, chin, chin
Open wide your little mouth
But do not let them in!

7. Story time!

8. The Gate Swings Open
The gate swings open
And the goats run free
They climb the branches of the apple tree
They fall asleep from the apples they ate
So carry them home . . .
And shut the gate!

If you see a crocodile
Don’t forget to scream!

14. The Grand Old Duke
Oh . . .
The grand old duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them UP to the top of the hill
He marched them DOWN again
And when they were UP they were UP
And when they were DOWN they were DOWN
And when they were only halfway UP
They were neither UP nor DOWN

15. Sleeping Bunnies ♫
See the little bunnies sleeping
Till it's nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them
With a merry tune
Oh, so still
Are they ill?
Wake up soon!
Hop little bunnies
Hop, hop, hop (3x)

Come under my umbrella, umbrella, umbrella
Come under my umbrella, it’s starting to storm
There’s thunder and lightning and wind and rain
Come under my umbrella it’s starting to storm
