Mouse in the House song for tunnel fingers

 

Once there was a little mouse

D       D       A     A 1 1  A

And he lived in a little house

A     3   3       A A 4 4  A

And all day long he ran around

A      3  3     A     A   1   1 A

And shouted squeak squeak D

A      D     D

 

Keep fingers on D string!

Song of the Wind

 

Once I saw a crocodile who snapped at all he saw

Snapped at all he saw

Till he snapped a rock and got a toothache in his jaw jaw jaw

Till he snapped a rock and got a toothache in his jaw

 

Go Tell Aunt Rhody

 

Strawberry bowing, smoothly on the string,
Strawberry bowing makes my cello sing,
Up to the A string then we turn around,
Softly again with silky sound.
Strawberry bowing, smoothly on the string,
Strawberry bowing makes my cello sing.

 

 

O Come

 

Up down goes the bow and remember to save

Repeat this phrase three times more

 

Allegro

 

Wake up wake up everybody wake up wake up wake up time to go to school

Wake up wake up everybody wake up wake up wake up time to go to school

Put my clothes on eat my breakfast play my cello it's so cool

Wake up wake up everybody wake up wake up wake up time to go to school

 

 

 

 Allegro 

 

Popcorn, popcorn listen to the popcorn.

Popcorn, popcorn listen to it pop.

 

Popcorn, popcorn listen to the popcorn.

Popcorn, popcorn listen to it pop.

 

Melted butter, poured all over

Sprinkled with a bit of salt

 

Popcorn, popcorn listen to the popcorn.

Popcorn, popcorn listen to it pop.

 

 

Allegro

 

Robot, Robot, I’m a little robot

R2 D2 He’s a robot too

Robot, Robot, I’m a little robot

R2 D2 He’s a robot too

I’m not human

Wish I were human

There’s a human girl I love

Robot, Robot, I’m a little robot

R2 D2 He’s a robot too

 

Allegretto

 

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day

The three bears’ cabin stood, at the edge of the wood.

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day

The three bears went away for a walk

 

First the big Papa bear

Then the kind Mama bear

Then behind, with his chair, came the small Baby bear

 

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day

The three bears went away for a walk.

 

 

Allegretto 

 

See the bear, with no hair, wearing pink underwear,

And the Goose with the Moose in a big red caboose

See the mice, eating rice, on the ice, oh how nice!

And the dog on the log, what a hog! (After reading Aesop’s fable of the dog & his reflection)

See the fish, ON THE DISH, we all wish HE’D GO SQUISH

And the Bird, that we heard, he’s a nerd, how absurd!

Back to the mice line…

 

 

Andantino

 

(tends to be an easier song that doesn't need lyrics, but I like to keep the theme of the Allegretto "In the Woods" and instead of it being about the three bears- this time it's about Goldilocks!)

 

Goldilocks went inside the three bears house 

Goldilocks liked to eat all the porridge.

Goldilocks went inside the three bears house 

Goldilocks liked to eat then try all beds.

Someone's knocking at the front door! Time to climb way down the stairs and...

Goldilocks went inside the three bears house 

Goldilocks liked to eat then try all beds.

Peanut butter peanut butter I like lots of peanut butter

Make a sandwich make a sandwich make a sandwich I like brown bread

 

 

 

Long long ago

 

Long long ago on a hot summers day, I saw a frog high on a log

Long long ago on a hot summers day, I saw a frog on a log

He jumped so high that I thought he could fly

He jumped so high that I thought he could fly

Long long ago on a hot summers day, I saw a frog on a log

Minuet 2

 

I like peanut butter sandwiches, I like peanut butter sandwiches

(repeat)

 

Peanut butter goes with jelly and peanut butter goes with honey too.

Peanut butter goes with everything, chocolate-chip ice-cream bars, How I love

those peanut butter sandwiches that my mom and my dad and I can make too.

Happy Farmer

 

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,

we feed the chickens, cows, and pigs the whole day long.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,

we feed the chickens, cows, and pigs the whole day long.

When we are finished, then we get to play.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,

we feed the chickens, cows, and pigs, this ends our song.

When we are finished, then we get to play.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,

We feed the chickens, cows, and pigs, this ends our song.

 

 

Gossec Gavotte

 

I can play this long gavotte the whole way through.

I can play this long gavotte as well as you.

I can play this long gavotte just like you too.

Doctor Suzuki would like that too.

 

Can you play the second section just as well?

I can play the second section, can't you tell?

I can play the second section quite as well.

Let's all play the second section, ding dong bell.

 

Let us take it all in turns to play.

I'll play first, then fingers very quickly down the scale come jumping.

I'll play it next and now all together,

teeter, totter, then running up and down.

 

I'm playing very fast and jump about.

I'm playing very fast and I'm not out.

I'm playing very fast, and I'm playing at the last,

so let's play it all together, roundabout.
