Abraham Lincoln

I Love the name of Abraham
We see him on our money
His picture's on the $5.00 bill
And also on our penny.
Honest Abe is what he's called
Honest, kind and true.
He was our 16th President
He loved both me and you, sir.

But I don't care
Another one
Is growing there!

Weather Song


(tune:Frere Jacque)
It is snowing, it is snowing,
On the street, round our feet.
See the snowflakes blowing.
Look at the drifts a-growing.
It's so cold, it's so cold.

It is sunny, it is sunny,
Clear and bright, a lovely sight.
Feel the sun a-glowing.
Look at flowers growing.
Nice and warm, nice and warm.

It is raining, it is raining,
All around, all around.
See the drops of rain.
On the windowpane.
Rainy day, go away.

I'm a Little Raincloud


(tune: I'm a little teapot)
I'm a little rain cloud fat and round
When it thunders I make this sound.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rolling around.Splash!
The rain comes tumbling down.

I went outside the door today,

And windy was the weather,

WINDY, WINDY, WINDY

And windy was the weather!
