Peeking into the rock

On a related front, the favorite songs in the toddler room (where I have been for the last week and will be for about another week) at the moment are:

The Mommy Song (number one on the hit parade naturally)
"If all the raindrops were gumdrops and lemondrops' (known to toddlers as "Aah-aah-aah")
"The Itsy-Bitsy Spider"
"Happy Birthday"


Other songs I sing to manage traffic and focus the play:
"Clean-O" ("Branna, Brianna come wash your hands, Oh Jonathan, come wash your hands, Oh Esmeralda come wash your hands, and make 'em nice and clean-oh" with variations about rubbing and scrubbing and bubbles)
"What shall we do when we all go out?" (or in, as the case may be)
"Scraping up sand from the bottom of the sea, Shiloh, Shiloh" (sand play, naturally)
"I see you jumping"
"Leslie wore her pink shirt, pink shirt, pink shirt, Leslie wore her pink shirt, all day long" (same tune as the Mommy Song)
"Round and Round the VIllage" (I do this as a finger play)
"Six Little Ducks" (the one about the little duck with the feathers on her back leading the others with a quack quack quack)
"Five Little Ducks" (same tune, but in this one the little ducks wander off one by one until there are no ducks and mother duck has to go find them)
"Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"
"Five Little Monkeys Swinging in the Tree (teasing Mr. Alligator, can't catch me)
"Three Green Speckled Frogs"
"I had a little rooster by the garden gate" (inevitably leading to "I had a little monster by the garden gate")
"Bought me a cat and the cat pleased me" (same song, but the tune is a bit different, it accumulates, and it has funny noises instead of just onomatopeia)
"The tree in the wood" (for nap time) ("once there was a pretty little tree, prettiest tree that you every did see, and the tree was in the wood and the green grass grew all around, round, round" -- all these tree parts, and a nest and a bird and a wing and a feather and a flea and a mo-skee-tee, accumulating)
On the same note "When I first came to this land (I was not a wealthy man.  So I bought myself a farm and I did what I could)" (accumulating farm animals and equipment)
"Open, Shut Them" (your hands)
"Saddle up boys, we're going to Boston"
"Summertime" (naps)
"Way Down Yonder in a Hollow Tree" (naps: Froggy went a-courting)
"The Frog Song" (A Sam Hinton number of which I wish I could remember the rest of the lyrics or find them online)
"Down In Cupid's Garden" (naps: it's a Copper Family song, probably a music hall thing about a sailor and a girl who meet and fall in love in a public park, or something, it seems covertly lewd but it's really pretty)
"Bluebird, Bluebird" (circle game)
"Little Sally Walker" (circle game)
"Here we go Looby-Loo" (dance game like Hokey-Pokey, exactly, except that I learned it earlier)
"Sally inthe Alley" (dance game)
"Oh the sunshine" (weather themed finger play)
"Lazybones" (naps)
"Baa baa black sheep, where'd you leave your lamb?" (originally a horrifying hostile baby rocking song which I have thoroughly bowdlerized and extended so it's now mommy's fears about baby's independence instead of baby's fears of abandonment and death)
"Little red caboose"
"Freight train, freight train" 
The usual circle time things ("good morning/buenos dias," "Adrian is here today," "uno, dos, tres deditos/one, two, three little fingers," the color song, the alphabet song
"I had a little nut tree"
"Baby Beluga" (but I need the book because I don't know all the verses)
"Rubber Blubber Whale"
"Do, do pity my case" (a song about housework)
"The Linen clothes" (It was on a Monday morning the first I saw my darling cutting out the linen clothes: she sews them, launders them, and wears them over the course of a week)
"You can go to sleep too" (one of my own nap songs about how all the animals in the world sleep in their special ways and you can go to sleep too)
"Sleepy,sleepy, sleepy oh"(another of my own nap songs in which various objects and abstractions are paired conceptually and by rhyme and all of them are declared to be sleepy)
"Wheels on the bus" (of course)
"Old Paint" (naps)
"You've got to wait sometimes" (one of my own, very cheerful, lists all the lengths of time a person might have to wait -- I'm prepared to go all the way out to an era if necessary)
"Whimper and Whine" (originally a demonstration of the power of the letter E, from Electric Company)
"One of these things is not like the other" (from Sesame Street)
"Brush Your Teeth"
"Bear Hunt"
I wish I knew the Sesame Street song about the shark and his wonderful teeth, and the one about cooperation
"Lavender's Blue"
"You are my flower"

This list is probably not interesting to anybody but me.
