Fall Lyrics:
​
Little Bird Up In A Tree
​
Little bird up in a tree, in a tree, in a tree
Little bird up in a tree, sing a song for me.
Sing about the pumpkins on the garden wall
Sing about the birdies in the tree so tall
​
Little bird up in a tree, in a tree, in a tree
Little bird up in a tree, sing a song for me.
​
Big Black Crow
​
Big black crow sitting in a tree
What are you squawking 'bout
Won't you tell me?
Caw, caw, caw
(2x)
​
Way up high in the old oak tree
Your shiny black feathers are clear to see
You're bigger and brighter than all the rest
You must think you're the very best
​
Big black crow sitting in a tree
What are you squawking 'bout
Won't you tell me?
Caw, caw, caw.
​
Good Morning Dear Earth
​
Good Morning Dear Earth
Good morning dear earth, good morning dear sun,
Good morning dear tree and the plants every one.
Good morning dear animals, and the birds in the trees
Good morning to you, good morning to me.
Good Morning Golden Sunshine
​
Good morning golden sunshine
mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmm,
You're looking through my window fine,
The birds are singing in the trees
doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo,
And we give thanks on this fine day.
​
For The Golden Sun
​
For the golden sun and the apples from the trees
For the yellow butter and the honey from the bees
For the fruits and nuts and berries
We find along the way
For the beasts and wild birdies...
We're thankful every day.
​
Blow Wind Blow
​
Blow wind blow, and go mill go,
That the miller may grind her corn.
That the baker my take it and into bread bake it
And bring us a loaf in the morn, and bring us a loaf in the morn.
​

Hello To You My Friend (c) Alison Notkin
Hello, hello, hello to you my friend,

Apple Tree song
Here is an apple tree,
I look up and I can see
Big red apples ripe and sweet,
Big red apples good to eat.
Shake the big old apple tree,
See the apples fall on me.
Here's a basket big and round,
Pick those apples off the ground.
Last time: Here's an apple ripe and sweet, that's the apple I will eat...
​
Quiet Exercise Song (c) Alison Notkin
​
Reach up, reach up, elbows up and down
Wave to everybody and tap tap on the ground
Reach up, reach up, elbows up and down
Wave to everybody and tap tap on the ground
​
It's a quiet exercise song, it's a quiet exercise song
Shh shh, shh shh, it's a quiet exercise song
​
Lift your knees, lift your knees, jump up and down
Clap clap your hands, and turn yourself around
Lift your knees, lift your knees, jump up and down
Clap clap your hands, and turn yourself around
​
It's a quiet exercise song, it's a quiet exercise song
Shh shh, shh shh, it's a quiet exercise song
​

​
Les Oiseaux (c) Alison Notkin
​
Les oiseaux qui n'aiment pas le froid
Ne restent pas, la ou il ya de la neige.
Les oiseaux qui n'aiment pas le froid
Ne restent pas ici pendant l'hiver.
​
Ils volent, ils volent
Loin d'ici ou le soleil brille
Ils volent, ils volent
Loin d'ici ou il fait chaud et le soleil brille.
​
Les oiseaux qui sont robust et fort
Peuvent vivre dans le nord, la ou il ya de la neige
Les oiseaux qui sont robust et fort
Peuvent vivre dans le nord, ici pendant l'hiver.
​
Ils restent, ils restent
Restent ici dans leurs petits nids,
Ils restent, ils restent
Pour trouver a manger, et un abri pour leurs bébés.

Spring Lyrics:
​
Spring Is Coming
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
Birdies build your nest
Weave together straw and feather
Each one does his best
Each one does his best
​
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
Flowers are waking too
Daisies, lilies, daffodilies
All are coming through
All are coming through
​
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
All around is fair
Shiver, quiver on the river
Joy is everywhere
Joy is everywhere
​
Tap Your Djembe Drum (c) Alison Notkin
​
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap your djembe drum
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap your djembe drum.
​
You can play with your hands, you can play with your fingers
You can play with your hands, you can play with your fingers,
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap your djembe drum.
​
(play quietly, loudly, slowly, and quickly)
​
I Can't See The Wind
​
I can't see the wind, but the wind can see me,
It follows me dancing across lantern-lea
It blow round my ankles, it puffs up my hair
It tangles me up so I do not know where
Or whither or thither or why I'm this way
The way of the wind on a fresh autumn day.
​
Compost Song (c) Alison Notkin
​
Put your food scraps in the compost
Never throw good food away
Put your food scraps in the compost
Or save them to eat another day.
Day, day day, save them to eat another day,
​
Honey Bee (c) Alison Notkin
Bee bee, honey bee
Won't you make some honey for me?
Bee bee, swoop and dive
Take the nectar from the flower to the old bee hive.
Pass the nectar from bee to bee
Just like we pass the bean bag from you to me.
Feed the honey to the bee baby
And if there's some left over, leave some for me.
​
Buzz buzz buzz a buzzy
Buzz buzz buzz a buzzy
Buzz buzz buzz a buzzy bee.
​
I Miss You
​
I miss you from this place
I miss your smiling face
I'm always happy when
My friends come back again!
​
Cherry Seed
​
I had a little cherry stone
I planted it in the ground
And when I went to look at it
A tiny sprout I found
​
The sprout it grew up day by day
Until it was a tree
I picked some cherries off of it
And had them for my tea, yum yum!
​
Caterpillar
​
Caterpillar crawls along
In and out he sings his song
Curled up tightly by and by
He becomes a butterfly
​
Butterfly Song (c) Alison Notkin
​
I am a butterfly in the sun
I fly all around til the day is done
See my colours bold and bright
Watch my wings as I take flight
​
Butterfly, butterfly,
butterfly, butterfly...
​
I Hear The Mill Wheel
​
I hear the mill wheel
Tiki tiki taka
I hear the mill wheel
Taka
​
I hear the mill wheel, tika tika taka
I hear the mill wheel, taka
​
Mother is building us a house
Tiki taka, tika taka
​
I hear the mill wheel, tika tika taka
I hear the mill wheel, taka
