Little Bunny Foo Foo
This is a really fun song, as kids love the motions of the bopping field mice on the head. A lot of schools teach this, at least that’s where I first learned it. I feel like some people would think that it’s not a good idea to teach a kid a song about bopping mice on the head but I personally think it’s harmless.
(Chorus) Little bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping ‘em on the head
Down came the good fairy and she said
“Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don’t want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ’em on the head.
I’ll give you three chances,
And if you don’t behave
I’ll turn you into a goon!”
The next day:
Chorus
Down came the good fairy and she said
“Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don’t want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ’em on the head.
I’ll give you two more chances,
And if you don’t behave
I’ll turn you into a goon!”
The next day:
Chorus
Down came the good fairy and she said
“Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don’t want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ’em on the head.
I’ll give you one more chance,
And if you don’t behave
I’ll turn you into a goon!”
The next day:
Chorus
Down came the good fairy and she said
“Little Bunny Foo Foo,
I don’t want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And boppin’ ’em on the head.
I gave you three chances
And you didn’t behave
Now you’re a goon! POOF!!”
The moral of the story is:
HARE TODAY, GOON TOMORROW

Song That Never Ends
Of course, this can be a horrifically annoying song for any adult, to realize the consequences before you teach a child this! I would not actually recommend teaching your girls this song as it WILL drive you insane. But, in case they’re butchering the lyrics somehow, now you can set them straight!
This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on, my friend
Some people started singing it
Forever just because…(Repeat)

Moonshadow
Yes, the song Moonshadow was made famous by Cat Stevens, though I learned this song at camp long before I knew anything about Cat Stevens. We sang it frequently by the fire as some of the last songs of the evening to wind down before bed.
(Chorus) I’m being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh, well…
I won’t have to work no more
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh well …
I won’t have to cry no more.
Chorus
And if I ever lose my legs
I won’t moan and I won’t beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs
Oh well…
I won’t have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh well…
I won’t have to talk…
Did it take long to find me
I ask the faithful light
Ooh did it take long to find me
And are you going to stay the night.
Chorus
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Ants Go Marching
The Ants Go Marching is a fun countdown song, starting at ants marching one by one and going all the way up to ten by ten. It’s a great song for younger girls who are learning to count as it gives them a chance to get some practice in! Not that in the seventh verse, the action is “pray to heaven” but you can easily change that if you don’t want to use the religious reference. Just make sure the last word rhymes with seven, though I’m having a tough time thinking of alternatives, to be honest! Try www.RhymeZone.com for suggestions!
The ants go marching one by one
Hurah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah, Hurrah!

The little one stopped to pluck a hen
And they all go marching

To the ground
To get out of the rain

Alice the Camel
This is a fun song. The way we sang it, there was a pause just before the number of humps, and we’d always shake our hips for each “bump”. It’s a simple counting song, as well as involves some movement. I’ve also seen it sung very similarly to My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean where the girls are standing for most of the song, but bend down at the knees during the number. There’s also a variation where the girls hold up one hand with the corresponding fingers showing for the number of humps.
Alice’s camel has five humps
Alice’s camel has five humps
Alice’s camel has five humps
So go, Alice, go!
Bump bump bump bump.
(Repeat the chorus with 1 fewer humps each time until…)
Alice’s camel has no humps
Alice’s camel has no humps
Alice’s camel has no humps
So Alice’s camel is a horse (of course!)
