Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go.
For if I do, my mother will say "Did you ever see a cat, wearing a hat?"
Down by the bay.Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go.
For if I do, my mother will say "Did you ever see a goat, rowing a boat?
Down by the bay...."Did you ever see a frog, walking a dog?" Down by the bay.
... "Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair?" Down by the bay.
... "Did you ever see a llama, wearing pajamas? Down by the bay.
... "Did you ever see a dragon, pulling a wagon? Down by the bay.
Ten Galloping Horses
Ten galloping horses, (hold up ten fingers)
Came through town. (slap hands on legs like galloping)
Five were white, (hold up five fingers)
And five were brown. (hold up five fingers on other hand)
They galloped up, (slap up toward top of thighs)
They galloped down, (slap down toward knees)
Ten galloping horses, (hold up ten fingers)
Came through town. (slap hands on legs like galloping)

Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony.
He stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy!Father and I went down to camp, along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys, as thick as hasty pudding. ChorusAnd there was General Washington, upon a slapping stallion,
A giving orders to his me, I guess there was a million. Chorus
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
Hope to see you at our next Antioch Preschool Storytime!
