Campfires burning
Campfire’s burning, campfire’s burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer
In the gloaming, in the gloaming
Come sing and be merry
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
my Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my Bonnie to me.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Fishey wishey dance
Actions:
"ever been a-fishing" = pretend you are casting a fishing rod
"sunny day" = show a flat sky above your head
"fishies swimming up and down the way" = make a fish-swimming movement with one hand, then the other
"hands"= hold up your hands
"pockets" = pat where front pockets would be
"pants" = pat where back pockets would be
"fishy wishy dance" = wiggle your hips from side to side
Have you ever been a-fishing
On a bright sunny day
With all the little fishies swimming up and down the way?
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in the pants
And all the little fishies do the fishy wishy dance.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
And all the little fishies do the fishy wishy dance.
Do the song once with medium-sized actions, then repeat with very small actions, then with very big actions, then super-fast actions.

Animal fair
I went to the animal fair,
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon Was combing his auburn hair,
The monkey fell out of his bunk,
And slipped on the elephant's trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees,
And that was the end of the monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey,
Me and my dinosaur
One day when the weather was cloudy and gray,
And I wished someone would come over and play,
I heard a "knock – knock" and I opened the door,
And there stood the loveliest big dinosaur!
*Chorus: Me and my dinosaur!
I never had such a friend before!
As big as a house, twenty times and a half,
And fifty times taller than any giraffe!
Legs long as Sequoia trees!
Teeth big as piano keys!
No two people are buddies more
Than me and my dinosaur!
We hop-scotched to Africa quick as a breeze,
While leap-frogging over the coconut trees,
And when we got thirsty, mile after mile,
In one great big gulp we just drank up the Nile!
*Chorus
We went to church, and then we went to school.
My dinosaur, gee he is really cool!
I climbed all the way from his tail to his cheek;
Without stopping once it took nearly a week!
*Chorus
Oh you'll never get to heaven
Oh you’ll never go to heaven
In a baked bin tin
Coz a baked bean tin
Has got baked beans in (repeat)
CHORUS:
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord no more
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord no more
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord no more
Additional verses - Biscuit tin, on roller skates, with a dog as a pet, In a dewsway bus
Little cottage in a wood
In a cottage in a wood,
A little old man at the window stood.
Saw a rabbit running by,
Knocking at the door.
'Help me, help me please,' he said,
'Before that gunman shoots me dead!'
'Come little rabbit, come with me.
How happy we will be.'
