Welcome To Storytime! [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we're here, let's have some fun.
First we'll sing the ABC's,
then we'll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.
I Know a Cat [tune: "Bingo" ]
I know a cat with perky ears, and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y.
And Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it's "Meow,"
and Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
and Kitty is her name-o.
Five Little Kittens
Five little kittens, sleeping on a chair.
One rolled off, leaving four there.
Four little kittens, one climbed up to look in a bird's nest;
then there were three.
Three little kittens, wondered what to do.
One saw a mouse, then there were two.
Two little kittens, playing near a wall.
One chased a red ball, now there is one.
One little kitten, with fur soft as silk,
Left all alone to drink a dish of milk.
I'm a Little Kitten [tune: "I'm a Little Teapot" ]
I'm a little kitten, soft and furry.
I'll be your friend, so don't you worry.
Right up on your lap I like to hop.
I'll purr, purr, purr and never stop.
Pussycat, Pussycat
Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London, To look at the queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse, Under her chair.
Three Little Kittens
Three little kittens lost their mittens,
and they began to cry: Meow, meow, meow!
What? Lost your mittens you naughty kittens,
then you shall have no pie.
Meow, meow, meow! then you shall have no pie.Three little kittens found their mittens,
and they began to cry: Meow, meow, meow!
What? Found your mittens, you good little kittens
Now you shall have some pie. Meow, meow, meow!
then you shall have some pie.
A cat stood on the shore one day, Iddy biddy winkum doo,
said he, "I'd love to sail away," Iddy biddy, iddy biddy winkum doo.
"When I am set to go to sea," Iddy biddy iddy biddy winkum,
"A catboat is the thing for me!" Iddy biddy winkum doo.
He found a boat, and sailed for France, Iddy biddy winkum doo,
A catfish came along, by chance, Iddy biddy winkum doo.
To grab it, Kit wen overboard, Iddy biddy iddy biddy winkum,
A storm came up and how it poured! Iddy biddy winkum doo.
His choice was sink or swim, you know, Iddy biddy winkum doo,
Most cats don't like the water, tho', Iddy biddy winkum doo.
The boat went down and left no track, Iddy biddy iddy biddy winkum,
But just the same, that cat came back, Iddy biddy winkum doo!
But just the same, that cat came back, Iddy, biddy winkum doo!
