O bring back my Bonnie to me.

"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.

Won't my mummy be so proud of me
I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee.
Eww! It's all over my hands!

I'm licking up a baby bumblebee
Won't my mummy be so proud of me

I'm throwing up a baby bumblebee.
Eww! What a mess!

I'm mopping up a baby bumblebee
Won't my mummy be so proud of me
I'm mopping up a baby bumblebee.
There, that's better!

I'm a little piece of tin

Nobody knows what shape

I'm in I've got four wheels and a running board

I'm not a Chevy and I'm not a Ford

Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle crash beep beep Honk honk, rattle rattle rattle crash beep beep Honk honk!

Have you ever seen
A penguin come to tea?
When you look at me
A penguin you will see!
PENGUINS ATTENTION!
PENGUINS BEGIN!

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,

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 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

Additional verses - Biscuit tin, on roller skates, with a dog as a pet, In a dewsway bus

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.'
