Baby Bumble Bee I’m picking up my baby bumble bee Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Picking up my baby bumble bee I’m stroking my baby bumble bee Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Stroking my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Ow! the bumble bee stung me
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Squishing up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Licking up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Sicking up my baby bumble bee
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me Mopping up my baby bumble bee
Oh the bear went over the mountain the bear went over the mountain the bear went over the mountain To see what he could see
And all that he could see Was the other side of the mountain The other side of the mountain The other side of the mountain Was all that he could see. Black Socks Black socks they never get dirty The longer you wear them the stronger they get Sometimes I think I should wash them But then a voice says to me ‘Don’t bother yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet This song can be sung using staggered entries coming in every 2 notes…almost limitless. Boots of shining leather If you dance then you must have boots of shining leather, Money in your pocket book, In your cap a feather. But if you would sing with me, you don’t need a cent you’ll see. So come and sing together. If you dance then you must have boots of shining leather.
She will want a hundred things, rainy days or sunny. But if you would sing with me, you don’t need a cent you’ll see So come and sing together. If you wed a pretty girl that will cost you money.
Hasten do not tarry. You can steal his heart away, And you one day he’ll marry. A capital ship (Charles Edward Carryl) A capital ship for an ocean trip Was the "Walloping Window Blind" No wind that blew dismayed her crew Or troubled the captain's mind The man at the wheel was made to feel Contempt for the wildest blow-ow-ow Tho' it oft appeared when the gale had cleared That he'd been in his bunk below So, blow ye winds, heigh-ho A-roving I will go I'll stay no more on England's shore So let the music play-ay-ay I'm off for the morning train To cross the raging main I'm off to my love with a boxing glove 10,000 miles away The bos'un's mate was very sedate Yet fond of amusement too He played hop-scotch with the starboard watch While the captain tickled the crew The gunner he was apparently mad For he sat on the after ra-ra-rail And fired salutes with the captain's boots In the teeth of a booming gale The captain sat on the commodore's hat And dined in a royal way Off pickles & figs & little roast pigs And gunners bread each day The cook was Dutch and behaved as such For the diet he served the crew-ew-ew Was a couple of tons of hot-cross buns Served up with sugar and glue Then we all fell ill as mariners will On a diet that's rough and crude And we shivered and shook as we dipped the cook In a tub of his gluesome food All nautical pride we cast aside And we ran the vessel asho-o-ore On the Gulliby Isles where the poopoo smiles And the rubbily ubdugs roar Composed of sand was that favored land And trimmed with cinnamon straws And pink and blue was the pleasing hue Of the ticke-toe teaser's claws We sat on the edge of a sandy ledge And shot at the whistling bee-ee-ee While the rugabug bats wore waterproof hats As they dipped in the shining sea On rugabug bark from dawn till dark We dined till we all had grown Uncommonly shrunk when a Chinese junk Came up from the Torrible Zone She was stubby and square, but we didn't much care So we cherrily put to sea-ea-ea And we left all the crew of the junk to chew On the bark of the rubabug tree Clementine In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Lived a miner forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine Chorus Oh, my darling, oh, my darling Oh, my darling Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes without topses Sandals were for Clementine Chorus Drove her ducklings to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine Chorus Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine But, alas, she was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine Chorus Then the miner, forty-niner Soon began to peak and pine Thought he oughta join his daughter Now he's with his Clementine Chorus There's a churchyard on the hillside Where the flowers grow and twine There grow roses, ‘mongst the posies Fertilized by Clementine Chorus In my dreams she still doth haunt me Robed in garments soaked in brine Though in life I used to hug her Now she's dead, I draw the line Chorus Now you kids [or Scouts] may learn the moral Of this little tale of mine Artificial respiration Would have saved my Clementine Chorus How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine Till I kissed her little sister And forgot my Clementine Chorus Directory: curriculum -> music curriculum -> Curriculum Vitae curriculum -> Curriculum framework for an inquiry-based, interdisciplinary unit of study curriculum -> General Information curriculum -> James R.
