The Blueberry Bush
(Tune: The Mulberry Bush)

Here we go round the blueberry bush,
The blueberry bush, the blueberry bush.
Here we go round the blueberry bush,
So early in the morning.

Pick the blueberries small and round,
Small and round, small and round.
Pick the blueberries small and round,
So early in the morning.

I’M A LITTLE PIGGYTune: “I’m a Little Teapot”

I’m a little piggy
With a round pig nose.
I’m all pink
From my head to my toes.

Here’s my piggy tail,
As you can see,
It’s pink and curly
As it can be.

Piggies can be pink,

Pink, pink, pink.

Pink, pink, pink.

Pink, pink is the color I see. If you are wearing red then show it to me. Stand up, turn around. Show me your pink then sit back down.

Yellow, Yellow is the color I see. If you are wearing Yellow then show it to me. Stand up, turn around. Show me your yellow then sit back down.
