Songs we sang today:

Pancake Hat
I went to a party and I brought me a hat
I put it on a bed and along came a cat
Cat sat down and squashed it flat
Now I call it my pancake hat
Pancake hat, pancake hat
Used to be fine with a feather and that,
Now I call it my pancake hat!

I put on my hat and I went out to play
Along came the wind and blew it away
Into a pasture and under a cow
Cow took a bite—it’s a doughnut now
Doughnut hat, doughnut hat
Used to be fine with a feather and that,
Now I call it my doughnut hat!

Was hot one day so I went for a swim
I put on my hat and I jumped right in
My hat swelled up and I said, “DRAT!”
Now I call it my muffin hat
Muffin hat, muffin hat,
Used to be fine with a feather and that,
Now I call it my muffin hat!
