Guest Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have hear one sung to the tune of the little green frog Cluck cluck when the little red hen one day (Flapping arms) Cluck cluck went the little red hen (flapping arms) Cluck cluck when the little red hen one day (flapping arms) And they all went cluck cluck cluck But we know hens go sha la lal a la sha la la la la sha la la la la (jazz hands) We know hens go sha la la la la (jazz hands) they don't go cluck cluck cluck (shake heads and flap arms) Repeat (Bits in brackets are the actions to go with the song) Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest honeyw1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Said the first little chicken with a queer little squirm, "I wish I could find A fat little worm." Said the second little chicken, with an odd little shrug, "I wish I could find A fat little bug." Said the third little chicken' With a sharp little squeal, "I wish I could find Some nice Yellow corn meal." Said the fourth little chicken with a sigh of grief, "I wish I could find A little green leaf." Said the fifth little chicken, With a faint little moan, "I wish I could find A wee gravel stone." "Now see here, said the mother, From the green garden patch, "If you want any breakfast, Just come her and scratch!" This is the only one I can think of apart from Chick Chick Chicken HW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the little green frog is a song where you go um um went the little green frog one day um um went the little green frog (as you say the um um you close your eyes and stick out your tounge) I look a complete loon as i am typing this singing it and doing the actions as i am trying to remember it!!

Marion Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 http://www.songsforteaching.com/avni/littleredhen.htm The little red hen was going for a walk That’s when she saw some wheat near a rock The little red hen was going for a walk That’s when she saw some wheat near a rock She picked it up, dusted it clean saying. “This is even better than a lima bean.” What I have to do to plant this thing Is dig a hole as round as a ring Drop it in, cover it up Does anybody out there want to help me out?” The little duck said, “Not I quack, quack” The little pig said, “Not I oink, oink” The little cat said, “Not I meow, meow” So the little red hen said, “I’ll do it somehow.” She didn’t complain, and she didn’t moan The little red hen did it all alone. “It’s time to cut the wheat and take it to the mill They’ll grind it into flour way up on the hill Then carry it home, a sack or two Does anybody out there want to help me out?” Refrain: The little duck said, “Not I quack, quack” The little pig said, “Not I oink, oink” The little cat said, “Not I meow, meow” So the little red hen said, “I’ll do it somehow.” She didn’t complain, and she didn’t moan The little red hen did it all alone. “To bake some bread, an egg or two, Use the flour from the wheat that we grew Put it in the oven and wait till it’s done Does anybody out there want to help me out?” Refrain: The little duck said, “Not I quack, quack” The little pig said, “Not I oink, oink” The little cat said, “Not I meow, meow” So the little red hen said, “I’ll do it somehow.” She didn’t complain, and she didn’t moan The little red hen did it all alone. Now that the bread is ready to eat, I’m glad that I found that little bit of wheat. It’s time to sit down and enjoy this feast Does anybody out there want to help me out?” Refrain: The little duck said, I do quack, quack” The little pig said, “I do oink, oink” The little cat said, “I do meow, meow” But the little red hen said, “I’ll do it somehow.” She didn’t complain, and she didn’t moan The little red hen ate it all alone. http://www.songsforteaching.com/intellitun...ittleredhen.htm Oh, the Little Red Hen Was asking all her friends "Who will help me plant my grain?" "Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the little mouse. So the Little Red Hen With no help from her friends Planted it by herself. Oh, the Little Red Hen Was asking all her friends "Who will cut and grind my wheat?" "Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the little mouse. So the Little Red Hen With no help from her friends Cut and ground it by herself. Oh, the Little Red Hen Was asking all her friends "Who will help me bake my bread?" "Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the little mouse. So the Little Red Hen With no help from her friends Ate it by herself. So the Little Red Hen With no help from her friends Simply ate it by herself. Yum!

Alison Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Lola I know your problem trying to discribe little green frog song I tried to write it in my "regular songs" key ring (which I keep in my pocket as a prompt for songs at carpet time) and I couldnt even think of something as simple as writing "little green frog song"! the tune is very similar to an old sunday school song I remember. as for chicken songs I remember my children use to sing this one the words might not be 100% Im a spring chicken (actions- children stand and flap arms) Im yellow and small my legs are not long (bend knees like PC Plod) so i'll never be tall Im spring chicken (children stand and flap arms) Im yellow and small my feathers are fluffy (shiver and rub hand up and down arms) and there keeping me warm Im a spring chicken (children stand and flap arms) Im yellow and small yes Im a real spring chicken and Im having a ball (flap arms and turn/dance around on the spot) im a chicken Im a chicken and Im having a ball the tune..... um dont know sorry no help there are a load of verses but I dont know them either! any one else know it?
