Gertie the Goldfish

 

Gertie the Goldfish goes
smack, smack, smack
She looks at me and goes like
smack, smack, smack,
She doesn't laugh, doesn't sing
doesn't do anything
Just blows big kisses like this
Smack, smack, smack, smack

Head, Whiskers, Knees and Tail

Head, whiskers, knees and tail, knees and tail,
Head, whiskers, knees and tail, knees and tail,
And eyes and ears and mouth and nails,
Head, whiskers, knees and tail,
knees and tail!

I'm a Little Guinea Pig
(Tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")

I'm a little guinea pig, furry & sweet,
Here is my nose & here are my feet,
When I'm feeling hungry, greens are neat!
Wiggle your whiskers to the beat.

All the Fish

All the fish are swimming in the water,
swimming in the water,
swimming in the water,
All the fish are swimming in the water,
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble,
Pop!

Hamster in the Cage (tune of Wheels on the Bus)

 

The hamster on her wheel goes round and round

Round and round

Round and round

The hamster on her wheel goes round and round

All night long.

The hamster in the cage goes munch, munch, munch

Munch, munch, munch,

Munch, munch, munch

The hamster in the cage goes munch, munch, munch

All night long.

The hamster in the cage goes snore, snore, snore

Snore, snore, snore

Snore, snore, snore

The hamster in the cage goes snore, snore, snore

All day long.
