Dromedary Camels

by Susan Bremer and Gwynne Barry
sung to "Three Blind Mice"

Dromedary camels...
Watch out or they'll spit...
Theyve got a fat hump for temperature control,
They sway when they walk,
They've got soul
The ships of the desert bearing the load.
Dromedary camels...

Bat

by Ann Fahlstrom and Dotty O'Ryan
sung to "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"

I'm a bat that flies on featherless wings
I love to eat insects among other things.
I sleep all day hanging upside down
and come out at might to play around the town.
(or... come out to use my echo sounds) Evie

Wash, wash, wash your hands
Make sure that you use soap
Rub and scrub for 12 seconds long
Dry with towel not clothes!

The Five Senses

The Five senses,
The Five senses,
What are they?
What are they?
Sight and smell and hearing...
Sight and smell and hearing...
Taste and touch...
Taste and touch.

by Jamie Dietz (Bishop Baraga Catholic School in Cheboygan)
sung to "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Evie had a hippopotamus,
a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus.
Evie had a hippopotamus
whose diet was mostly grass.

He followed her in Africa,
Africa, Africa.
He followed her in Africa
which is where he lives.

The water is where he likes to play,
likes to play, likes to play.
The water is where he likes to play.
His name means water horse.

His tusks can grow to five feet long,
five feet long, five feet long.
His tusks can grow to 5 feet long
so stay out of his way!

Turkey Turkey,
You're a boy, you're a boy.
We call you a tom, we call you a tom.
Turkey Tom, Turkey Tom.

You're a girl, you're a girl.
We call you a hen, we call you a hen.
Turkey hen, Turkey hen.

Turkey hen, Turkey hen
laid some eggs, laid some eggs,
Once they hatch, once they hatch,
Babies are poults, babies are poults.

What Butterfly Am I?

Then I turn brown, then I turn brown.
I eat lots of milkweed, I eat lots of milkweed.
I live out of town. I live out of town.

Komodo Dragon

Hunts, hunts, hunts all day,
Sleeps in holes in rocks
It's the largest living lizard
And it's 10 feet long.

Hippo

Bats

by Jacquie Jenkin and Shevaun Wois
sung to "Three Blind Mice"

Bats are mammals. Bats are mammals
What do they eat? What do they eat?
They eat bugs, blood, fish and fruit.
Which makes them omnivores like us.
They love to fly around at night.
Bats are mammals. Bats are mammals.

The Sheep

sung to "The Ants Went Marching"

The sheep go walking down the path
baa baa, baa baa.
The sheep go walking down the path
baa baa, baa baa.
They grow thick wool, we shear it off,
We spin and weave it into cloth.
And the sheep go walking
down the path back to the barn.

Trees

sung to "London Bridge"

Deciduous trees lose their leaves,
lose their leaves, lose their leaves.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves
in the fall.

Coniferous trees have cones you see,
cones you see, cones you see.
Coniferous trees have cones you see
some are sticky.

Both have seeds that spread around,
spread around, spread around.
Both have seeds that spread around
and grow in the ground.

Bats

sung to "London Bridge"

Bats are hinging upside down,
upside down, upside down.
Bats are hanging upside down.
They are nocturnal.

Bats are flying in the air,
in the air, in the air.
Bats are flying in the air.
They are mammals.
