A THANKSGIVING THOUGHT
by Bobbi Katz
The day I give thanks for having a nose
Is Thanksgiving Day, for do you suppose
That Thanksgiving dinner would taste as good
If you couldn’t smell it? I don’t think it would.
Could apple pie baking—turkey that’s basting
Not be for the smelling? Just be for tasting?
It’s a cranberry-cinnamon-onion bouquet!
Be thankful for noses on Thanksgiving Day.
Tommy Thumb
Tommy Thumb is up and Tommy Thumb is down
Tommy Thumb is dancing all around the town
Dancing on my shoulders, dancing on my head
Dancing on my knees now tuck him into bed.
Peter Pointer’s up and Tommy Thumb is down
Peter Pointer’s dancing all around the town
Dancing on my shoulders, dancing on my head
Dancing on my knees now tuck him into bed.
Taylor Tall is up and Taylor Tall is down
Taylor Tall is dancing all around the town
Dancing on my shoulders, dancing on my head
Dancing on my knees now tuck him into bed.
Ruby Ring is up and Ruby Ring is down
Ruby Ring is dancing all around the town
Dancing on my shoulders, dancing on my head
Dancing on my knees now tuck him into bed.
Patty Pinkie’s up and Patty Pinkie’s down
Patty Pinkie’s dancing all around the town
Dancing on my shoulders, dancing on my head
Dancing on my knees now tuck him into bed.
Dem Bones
Lyrics:
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Now hear the word of the Lord.
The toe bone connected to the heel bone,
The heel bone connected to the foot bone,
The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Now hear the word of the Lord.
The head bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the foot bone,
The foot bone connected to the heel bone,
The heel bone connected to the toe bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.
Tooth Family
This little baby only has two teeth
Just two teeth, just two teeth
One on top and one beneath
And he drinks milk all day long
This little girl says, “What shall I do?
I had my teeth but I’ve lost two.”
Her mother says, “Suzie, I can say to you,
You’ll soon grow plenty more.”
This is my mother and she keeps hers clean
Brush, brush, brush, see what I mean
This is my mother and she keeps hers clean
And she chatters all day long
My grandad he only has two teeth
Just two teeth, just two teeth
One on top and one beneath
So he wears false teeth all day
Clean them in the morning and at night
Children, grown-ups, keep them bright
Then when you’re old if you did it right
You’ll still have all your teeth
“Don’t forget now children
Every night and every morning
Brush, brush, brush,
Carefully now!”
