And this little cow does nothing

but lie and sleep all day!

And the rolled and they rolled in the mud all day! [roll hands]

Old MacDonald

Old MacDonald – song

Old MacDonald had a farm
E I E I O
And on that farm he had a cow

And a moo, moo there
Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo

Old MacDonald had a farm
E I E I O
And on that farm she had a cow
E I E I O

Los patitos

Los Pollitos – Spanish song

Los pollitos dicen, “pío, pío, pío”

Cuando tienen hambre

Cuando tienen frío

La gallina busca

El maíz y el trigo

Les da la comida

Y les presta abrigo

Acurrucaditos

Bajo las dos alas

Hasta el otro día

Duermen los pollitos



(rough translation: The little chicks say "pio pio pio" when they're hungry, when they're cold. The hen looks for corn and wheat. She gives them food and comfort. Cuddled up under her two wings, the little chicks sleep until the next day.)

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn

Will you wake him? No, not I!

For if I do, he’s sure to cry.

Five little pigs rolled in the mud
Squishy, squashy, felt so good.
The farmer took one piggy out.
"Oink, Oink, oink," the pig did shout!

No little pigs rolled in the mud.
They all looked so clean and good.
The farmer turned his back and then,
Those pigs rolled in the mud again.
