Songs and Rhymes
We’re Flying To The Moon
Tune:  “The Farmer In The Dell”

 We’re flying to the moon.

We’re going to blast off soon.
Grab your helmets and your suits.
We’re flying to the moon.

Did you feel the blast?
We’re climbing up so fast.
Hang on tight, what a sight!
We’re flying to the moon.

We’re soaring through the air.
I think we’re almost there.
Retro Rockets going off!
We’ve landed on the moon!

We climb down the stairs,
With our tanks of air.
We plant a flag, then grab some rocks
And take them back to earth.

We’re flying oh so fast.
Then we’re home at last.
What a flight, what a sight.
Flying to the moon!
                        Jean Warren

Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away
With the spoon. 

Orbiting Around The Moon

Sung to: "Coming around the Mountain"

We'll be orbiting around the moon, yes we will
We'll be orbiting around the moon, yes we will
We'll be orbiting around the moon X 3
Yes we will

other verses
We'll be landing on the Moon
We'll be walking on the Moon
We'll be blasting off again
We'll be landing back on Earth

Songs/ Rhymes
Hippos
Hippos swim.
Hippos snort.
Hippo legs
are rather short.

Hippos ears
are pink and tiny.
Hippo hide
is very shiny.

Hippo tails
are stout and stubby.
Hippo hips
are kind of chubby.

Hippos stay
rather quiet.
Hippos never
like to diet.

(tune of "If you're happy and you know it")
Oh, I wish I was a hippopotamus.
Oh, I wish I was a hippopotamus.
Oh I'd hop and I'd dive,
Do a happy little jive.
Oh, I wish I was a hippopotamus.
