In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb
Winter into Spring
A Laptime for the season
Once There Was a Snowman
Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman
Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall
In the sun he melted, melted, melted
In the sun he melted, small, small, small
But what if it's snowing outside?
Once there was a snowman --- small, small, small
Chubby Little Snowman
Chubby little snowman
With a carrot nose.
Along comes a bunny
And what do you suppose?
That funny little bunny
Was looking for some lunch
he saw that carrot nose and . . .
Nibble, nibble CRUNCH
It's Not That Cold Outside
(to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)
I don't want to wear my coat, wear my coat, wear my coat
I don't want to wear my coat
It's not that cold outside.
I don't want to wear my gloves, wear my gloves, wear my gloves
I don't want to wear my gloves
It's not that cold outside.
I don't want to wear my hat, wear my hat, wear my hat
I don't want to wear my hat
It's not that cold outside.
Aaaa CHOOOOOoooo
I just can't wait for Spring! Why does it takes so long?
Tick Tock Goes my Daddy's Big Clock
Tick tock, tick tock,

But my mommy's little clock

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Little flower, little flower
Snow is falling, spring is calling
Ding ding dong

Where is Daisy
(to the tune of Where is Thumbkin )
by Amy
Where is Daisy, where is Daisy
Here I am, Here I am
How are you today ma'am
Very well I thank you
Run away, run away
Where is Rose, where is Rose
Here I am, here I am
Rose: "Wait a minute, you aren't a rose!"
Goofy flower: "Well I am if I say I am, and a rose is a rose by any other name..."
Run away, run away
Oh where are all the flowers, and the birds, and the bees?
There is a Bird on Your Head

Oh, and the bees? What about the bees?
Here is the Hive
Here is the hive

But where are the bees?

Hidden inside
~point to fist
Where nobody sees
~shake finger, 'nobody', point to eyes, 'see'
expectant pause... closed fist starts to shimmer and shake...
Oh, oh OH!

They're alive! They're alive!
~let your figners go TICKLING!
Oh no! We let the bees out! Catch them!
Got it!
