Songs we sang today:

"Gifts for Mommy" (Carole Peterson)

I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
(is that a good gift for mommy? -- NO!)
I'm bringing home a baby dinosaur
Won't my mommy hide behind the door
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby dinosaur
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp
(is that a good gift for mommy? -- NO!)
I'm bringing home a baby crocodile
Won't my mommy wear a great big smile
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby crocodile
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
(is that a good gift for mommy? -- NO!)
I'm bringing home a baby grizzly bear
Won't my mommy tear out all her hair
'Cause I'm bringing home a baby grizzly bear
Grrrr, grrrr, grrrr, grrrr, grrrr
(is that a good gift for mommy? -- NO!)
I'm bringing home a great big pot of love
So much bigger than the sky above
Yes I'm bringing home a great big pot of love
Hug, hug, kiss, kiss, kiss
(is that a good gift for mommy? -- YES!)

"Do The Dragon" (Laurie Berkner)

Once upon a time there was a dragon (a dragon)
He lived by himself in a cave called The Dragon Zone
He liked to dance 'til he made his tail shake
And breathe fire just to bake a cake
But he wished that he didn't have to do it all alone
He would show everybody how he moved his old dragon bones

Well there was one young girl named Calico
She brought all her friends to The Dragon Zone
They said "Why mighty dragon, are you all alone?"
We would learn to do what the dragons do
Come on let's go!

So he looked at them and he said
Can you do the Dragon?
And they looked right back
We can do the Dragon
Can you do the Dragon?
We can do the Dragon
Well if you want to do the Dragon
1-2-3-4 Ha! Here we go!

(chorus #1)
I've got a tail that swings
I flap my dragon's wings
I've got spiky scales and long sharp nails
There's a fire in my mouth
and a big red tongue
So you'd better watch out 'cause here I come!

Can you do the Dragon? (chorus)
That was good said the Dragon, let's do some more

(chorus #2)
You take one step up and you give 'em a look
You take one step back it's in The Dragon Book
And then you jump-2-3 and then you bend down on your knees
And you float away on a Dragon Breeze

We can do the Dragon
(repeat chorus #1 and chorus #2)
