Mother Hen said, “It’s time to rest.”
One little chick said, “Peep, peep, peep.”
But four little chicks stayed fast asleep.
One, two, three, four.
Four little chicks tucked in their nest.
Mother Hen said, “It’s time to rest.”
One little chick said, “Peep, peep, peep.”
But three little chicks stayed fast asleep.
One, two, three.

But one little chick stayed fast asleep.
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
This is one of the most well-known children’s songs of all time. It’s been around for centuries and is still popular today. In this song, the narrator talks about a twinkle in the sky that seems to be a star.
The narrator wants the star to come to the farm so that he can take it to his bed. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the clouds, you gazebo, Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Lyrics-
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
As your bright and tiny spark Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
Baa Baa blue sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master, one for the dame

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
Baa Baa pink sheep, have you any wool?

Mary had a little lamb,
Little lamb, little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow.
Everywhere that Mary went,
Mary went, Mary went,
Everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
Which was against the rules.
It made the children laugh and play,
Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see the lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near.

Turkey in the Straw
This is an excellent song about Turkey and farm life. You can also sing it with your kids during Thanksgiving day as it enhances the celebration! Here are the lyrics-
As I was a-gwine down the road,
Tired team and a heavy load,
Crack my whip and the leader sprung,
l seys day-day to the wagon tongue.
Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay,
Turkey in the straw, turkey in the hay
Roll ’em up and twist ’em up a high tuckahaw
And twist ’em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw.
Went out to milk, and I didn’t know how,
I milked the goat instead of the cow.
A monkey sittin’ on a pile of straw,
A-winkin’ at his mother-in-law.
Met Mr. Catfish comin’ down stream.
Says Mr. Catfish, “What does you mean?”
Caught Mr. Catfish by the snout,
And turned Mr. Catfish wrong side out.
Came to a river and I couldn’t get across,
Paid five dollars for a blind old hoss;
Wouldn’t go ahead, nor he wouldn’t stand still,
So he went up and down like an old saw mill.
