My Mommy
Mother's Day Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Second Sunday in May
Linda Brown
This song is available on Dr. Thomas Moore's "Sing a Song of Holidays"
Oh, how I love my mommy!
I know she loves me too.
And she treats me so special,
Just like all mommies do.
She will read me a story;
She will sing me a song.
And she knows how I love it
When she takes me along.
And the best time is bedtime,
When she holds me so tight;
And she kisses and hugs me,
Then she whispers, “Good-night"

Verse 1:
In Mexico, we have a holiday
We celebrate in the month of May.
We tell the story of a battle fought in 1862.
CHORUS:
Everybody sing:
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Everybody sing, everybody sing, Cinco de Mayo!
Verse 2:
The French tried to conquer Mexico
Thought it was easy, but now we know:
Zaragoza and his men were brave, and victorious on this day.
CHORUS:
Everybody sing:
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Everybody sing, everybody sing, Cinco de Mayo!
Verse 3:
So, let's dress in costumes of long ago,
Recreat the story old
We'll eat and drink when the day is through,
and we'll break a piñata too!
CHORUS:
Everybody sing:
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco, Cinco, Cinco de Mayo.
Everybody sing, everybody sing, Cinco de Mayo!
Garden Friends
Song for Teaching Garden Bugs and Insects
Prue Whoo: Australian Singer/Songwriter
This song is available on Prue Whoo's Bug and Animal Tunes
I’m a slow old snail and I have no feet
I slide on my tummy to find things to eat
I leave a trail of slime wherever I go
And I’m always running late ‘cause I’m so slow
I’m a busy little ant and I have a lot of friends
I go in search of food in a line that never ends
And oh we work so hard by the end of the day
I crawl inside my bed and I sleep the night away
I’m a pretty butterfly and I spread by wings
I flit from flower to flower and I love all sorts of things
And when the sun shines out and it’s a glorious day
I hear the birdies sing and I sing along hooray!
Oh yes I hear the birdies sing and I sing along hooray
