Songs & Rhymes

Click on the links below to see the lyrics to some of the songs we sing in class.

We sing alot of songs freely and without music, so the what you read here and what you actually hear may vary greatly. We improv and change the words spontaneously, but these are some of the basic lyrics to our songs.

Many traditional English children's songs are difficult for kids who do not speak English fluently. So I often change and simplify lyrics to make the songs more accessible to young singers.

I also change lyrics to feature certain English words, phrases, expressions, etc.

If you cannot find the song you want, please email me and I'll post it.
