Round and Round the garden

Round and round the garden
Ran the teddy bear,
One step, two step
And tickly under there!

Row Row Row your boat

Row Row Row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

Swinging

Tune: It’s a small world after all

I’ll swing you high
I’ll swing you low
I’ll hold you tight
And I won’t let go

I’ll swing you high
I’ll swing you low
And I won’t let you go

Fly fly fly your plane
High up in the sky
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Fly your plane up high
