Bubble Song I blew bubbles
Everybody look at me. Pretty bubbles you will see.
Red and green and yellow, too, floating through the air for you.
Will they break before they land? Can you catch one in your hand?
My Grandma Likes [Tune:Wheels on the Bus]
Bounce baby
My Grandma likes to bounce me up and down.
Up and down, up and down.
My grandma likes to bounce me up and down,
because she loves me so.
My Grandpa likes to swing me side to side.
side to side, side to side.
My grandpa likes to swing me side to side,
because he loves me so.
My Grandma likes to give me great big hugs.
great big hugs, great big hugs.
My grandpa likes to give me great big hugs
because he loves me so.
Jumping on the Bed
Bounce baby
3 little grandchildren jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Grandma called the doctor and the doctor said:
“No more grandchildren jumping on the bed!”
2 little grandchildren jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head.
Grandma called the doctor and the doctor said:
“No more grandchildren jumping on the bed!”
1 little grandchild jumping on the bed,
He fell off and bumped his head.
Grandma called the doctor and the doctor said:
“No more grandchildren jumping on the bed!”
Down on Grandpa's Farm
Bounce baby
We're on our way, We're on our way, on our way to Grandpa's Farm
We're on our way, We're on our way, on our way to Grandpa's Farm
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a big brown cow
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a big brown cow
That cow, she makes a sound like this - Mooooo
That cow, she makes a sound like this - Mooooo
Repeat - with more animals (take suggestions)...little white kitten
...little yellow duck
...big blue dog
...big red rooster
...little black sheep
Are You Sleeping? [Tune:Frère Jacques]
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Grandpa John, Grandpa John,
Grandma Margaret calls you, Grandma Margaret calls you,
To wake up, to wake up.
The Grand Old Duke of York
Oh the Grand Old Duke of York
Bounce baby during marching
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
And when they were up they were up
Lift baby in the air
and when they were down they were down
and when they were down they were down
Lower baby back onto lap
and when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down.
