Rags


The motions to the song are:
Flip flop - Put your hands near your ears and flop them like flappy ears on dogs
Wig wag - Shake your little bum
Zig Zag - Point and move your hand in a zig zag

*Chorus: He goes flip-flop, wig wag, zig zag
He goes flip-flop, wig wag, zig zag
He goes flip-flop, wig wag, zig zag
Oh, I love Rags and he loves me

I know a dog and his name is Rags
He eats so much that his tummy sags
His ears flip-flop and his tail wig wags
And when he walks he goes zig zag
*
My dog Rags, he loves to play
He rolls around in the mud all day
I whistle (whistle) but he doesn't obey
He always runs the other way
*
(Addition to chorus) Oh I love Rags and he loves ME!!!

Thanks to Bubbles for teaching this to me last summer!


Rare Bog


*Chorus: Rare bog, rattlin’ bog, way down in the valley o,
Rare bog, rattlin’ bog, way down in the valley o

And in that bog
There was a tree
A rare tree, a rattlin’ tree

Rise and Shine

Another really long song. I don't really like this one that much. Maybe because it takes a half-hour to sing...?

*Chorus: Rise and shine and give God your glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God your glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God your glory, glory

Running Bear


*Chorus: Oh, Running Bear loves Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Oh, Running Bear loves Little White Dove
With a love that never dies

On the banks of the rolling river
Stood Running Bear, brave Indian brave
On the other side of the rolling river
Stood the lovely Indian maid
And her name was Little White Dove
She was lovely as could be
But there tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
*
They couldn't swim the raging river
'Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach his little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Blowing kisses cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting for her little brave
*
Running Bear jumped into the water
Little White Dove did the same
As they swam on towards each other
In the rushing river waves
As their heads met, and their lips touches
The rolling river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In that happy hunting ground
*

Sandwiches


Thanks to Bruce who sent me the last two verses

*Chorus: Sandwiches are beautiful, Sandwiches are fine
I like sandwiches I eat them all the time
I eat them for my dinner, I eat them for my lunch
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once

I once met an old man who had a loaf of bread
He saw that I had tuna fish
He looked at me and said
"Your tuna fish is lonely, and my loaf of bread is bare,
We could have some sandwiches if you would care to share"
*
Now a sandwich can be egg or cheese or even peanut butter
They all taste so good to me
It really doesn't matter
Ham or Jam Or Cucumber Anything will do
I like sandwiches
How Bout You?
*
Now a sandwich made of mice would be just right for an owl
A sandwich made of garbage for a skunk who's on the prowl
Honey for the Honeybee, Duckweed for the duck
A sandwich made of clover for the old woodchuck because
*
Once I went to England, I visited the Queen
I tell you that she was the grandest lady that I've seen.
I told her she was beautiful, couldn't ask for more.
She handed me a sandwich and she kicked me through the door
*
Once there was a pretty maid, the fairest in the land.
All the men for miles around tried to win her hand.
They offered her the moon and stars, they offered her the sea.
So I offered her a sandwhich and she said she'd marry me
*


Singing in the Rain


*Chorus: I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Hold it!
Thumbs out
Ah roosta cha, Ah roosta cha, Ah roosta cha cha,
Ah roosta cha, Ah roosta cha, Ah roosta cha cha

(Elbows in, chest out, knees together, butt out, head down, tongue out)


Stay On the Happy Side

*Chorus: Stay on the happy side
Always on the happy side
Stay on the happy side of life
Dnt, dnt, dnt, dnt, dnt, dnt
You will feel no pain
As we drive you insane
So stay on the happy side of life

Wading


(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)

*Chorus: Glory, glory, Hallelujah;
Glory, glory, Hallelujah;
Glory, glory, Hallelujah;
She didn't get her (clap, clap) wet, yet.

She waded in the water and she got her ankles wet.
She waded in the water and she got her ankles wet.
She waded in the water and she got her ankles wet.
But she didn't get her (clap, clap) wet.

2. knees

She waded in the water and she finally got it wet.
She waded in the water and she finally got it wet.
She finally got her bathing suit wet.


The Worm Song


*Chorus: Big, fat, juicy ones; long, thin, slimy ones; itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy WORMS!

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
I think I’ll go eat some worms
*
First you get a bucket,
Then you get a shovel,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm!
*
First you bite the head off,
Then you suck the guts out,
Then you throw the skins away
*
The first one was easy,
The second one made me queasy.
The third one got caught in my throat. UH! UH! UH!
*
Up comes the first one
Up comes the second one
The third one never made it down
*
Everybody likes me
Nobody hates me
Why did I eat those worms?
*
