Pre-Kindergarten Music 

Join us as we sing some old (and new) favorites. The children love to sing, and some of the songs will be listed here. Last update on September 14, 2006. We go to Music with Mrs. Soukup on Wednesdays. She is teaching the children "The Lord is My Helper" and "Jump, Shout, and Sing".

Clean up song   (London Bridge)
Everybody help clean up, help clean up, help clean up.
Everybody help clean up
Let’s shout hooray!

And welcome to school today.
We’re so glad you’re here!

Is Everybody happy?
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. (Clap-clap)

Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys swinging from a tree (Hold up five fingers)
Teasing Mr. Alligator “Can’t catch me.”
Along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be,
And snatched a monkey right out of that tree!

Four little monkeys……

Three little monkeys….

Two little monkeys….

One little monkey….

I Like You
(Tune: "Skip to My Lou")

I like you, there's no doubt about it.
I like you, there's no doubt about it.
I like you, there's no doubt about it.
You are my good friend.

You like me, there's no doubt about it.
You like me, there's no doubt about it.
You like me, there's no doubt about it.
You are my good friend.

Alligator
(Echo Chant)

Chorus:
Alligator.
       Alligator.
       Alligator.
       Can be your friend, can be your friend,
       Can be your friend, too!

The alligator is my friend,
And he can be your friend, too.
If only you could understand,
Don't wear him as a show!        (Chorus)

The alligator is my friend.
He likes to dance and flirt.
If only you could understand,
Don't wear him as a skirt.         (Chorus)

The alligator is my friend.
He likes to sing and dance.
If only you could understand,
Don't wear him as your pants.   (Chorus)              

Cool Bear Hunt

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt.
            We're going to catch a big one,
            With big green eyes,
            And a fuzzy little tail.

Look over there.
It's a candy factory.
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Can't go around it.
Guess we'll go through it.
Yum, yum, yum, yummmm. (Chorus)

Look over there.
It's a peanut butter river. . .

Look over there.
It's a Jell-o swamp. . .

Look over there.
It's a cave. . .
It's cold in here.
I see two big green eyes,
And a fuzzy little tail.
It's a bear!
Go through the Jell-o swamp.
Swim across the peanut butter river.
Go through the candy factory.
Run home.
Open the door. Shut the door.
We went on a bear hunt,
And we weren't afraid!

We love Peanut Butter (Tune: Allouette")
Peanut butter, we love peanut butter.
Peanut butter, that's what we like best.
Do you like it on your head?
 Yes, we like it on our head.
On your head?
On our head. Ohhhhhh.Do you like it on your shirt . . .   (Point to different body parts
            as you sing about them.)
Do you like it on your pants . . .   
Do you like it on your socks . . .   
Do you like it on your shoes . . .   

THE LORD IS MY HELPER (Mrs. Soukup is teaching us this one)

Chorus:
The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid.
The Lord is my helper,
I will not be afraid.

1.  Peter’s boat was a-rocking;
And Jesus came walking,
Saying, “Do not be afraid.”
Chorus

2. When the thunder comes crashing
And the lightning is flashing
And the rain comes pouring down,
Chorus

JUMP, SHOUT AND SING (Mrs. Soukup is teaching us this one, too)

Oh, I know God loves me,
And it makes me want to jump.
 Oh, I know God loves me,
And it makes me want to shout.
 Oh, I know God loves me,
And it makes me want to sing.

I wanna jump
And shout
And sing.

Come on, let’s jump!
Come on, let’s shout.
Come on, let’s sing.
We’re gonna jump and shout and sing!

Repeat the above verse.
