LYRICS
1,2,3—Sing With Me!
1. The Noble Duke of York (:40)
Oh, the Noble Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again

Oh, and when you’re up you’re up

And when you’re down you’re down
And when you’re only half way up
You’re neither up nor down

Oh, you lean them to the left

You lean them to the right
And when you turn them upside down—
Oh, what a funny sight!

2. Everybody Have A Seat (Tune: Shortnin’ Bread) (:53)

Everybody have a seat, have a seat, have a seat
Everybody come and have a seat on the floor
Everybody have a seat, have a seat, have a seat
Everybody come and have a seat on the floor

Not on the ceiling, not on the door

Everybody come and have a seat on the floor
Not on the ceiling, not on the door
Everybody come and have a seat on the floor

Everybody have a seat, have a seat, have a seat

Everybody come and have a seat on the floor

3. I See The Moon ( 1:50)

I see the moon, the moon sees me
Hiding behind the old oak tree
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love!

Over the mountains over the sea

Back where my heart is longing to be
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love!

I see the moon, the moon sees me

The moon sees the one that I want to see
God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the one I love!

It seems to me that God above

Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest
Because he knew I’d love you best!

4. I Have A Little Bicycle (:47)

I have a little bicycle
I ride it to and fro
And when I see the light is green
I know it’s time to go

I have a little bicycle

I ride around the town
And when the light is yellow
I know it’s time to slow down

I have a little bicycle

I bought it the shop
And when I see the light is green
I know it’s time to stop!

5. Head and Shoulders (1:07)

Head and shoulders,
Knees and toes, knees and toes!
Head and shoulders,
Knees and toes, knees and toes!
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head and shoulders,
Knees and toes, knees and toes!

Cabeza, hombros,
Piernes, pies, piernes, pies!
Cabeza, hombros,
Piernes, pies, piernes, pies
Ojas, oreijas, boca, naris
Cabeza, hombros,
Piernes, pies, piernes, pies!
6. If You’re Happy And You Know It ( 1:22)
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap your hands (clap, clap)
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap your hands (clap, clap)
If you’re happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap your hands (clap, clap)

7. Bengali Infant Massage Chant (:40)

Umbrella, umbrella
Come under my umbrella
It’s starting to rain
With thunder and lightning
And lightning and thunder
Come under my umbrella
It’s starting to rain

9. Red and Yellow (1: 12)

Red and yellow, green and blue
These are the colors over you
Red is for an apple, green is for the trees
Yellow is the sunshine, blue is for the seas
Red and yellow, green and blue
These are the colors over you

Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Sailing on a sea of dreams as the clouds roll by

Only don’t forget to sail back again to me!

His line’s a golden moonbeam, his bait’s a shining star!
Sail, baby, sail, out across the sea
Only don’t forget to sail back again to me!

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away!

Eating veggies and letting out a roar! (ROAR!)
She walked away and got stuck in the clay
And now there are no more dinosaurs!

Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight,
With lillies be spread, is baby’s wee bed!
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blest.

Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother’s delight!

Bright angels around my darling abound!
They will guide thee from harms. Thou shalt wake in my arms.
They will guide thee from harms. Thou shalt wake in my arms.

37. All Through The Night (1:43)

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee all through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee all through the night
Soft and drowsy hours are creeping, hill and dale in slumber sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping all through the night.

While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night
While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night
O’er thy spirit gently stealing visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling all through the night
