Preschool Lyrics

Here are the lyrics that prove successful for our nursery classes for Wheels on the Bus, Teddy Bear Teddy Bear, and Shake Your Sillies Out.


Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
the wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town

The baby on the bus goes, "wah, wah, wah"
"Wah, wah, wah", "wah, wah, wah"
The baby on the bus goes "wah, wah, wah"
All through the town

The mommy on the bus says, "I love you"
"I love you", "I love you",
The daddy on the bus says, "Love you too"
All through the town.

There are a thousand different verses of this song, but with the attention span of our nursery kids, I never do more than 3 verses of any one song. The third verse is from a Starfall.com version of it.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground
Teddy bear, teddy bear reach up high
Teddy bear, teddy bear pretend to fly
Teddy bear, teddy bear dance on toes
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch your nose
Teddy bear, teddy bear slap your knees
Teddy bear, teddy bear sit down please

I started off with this as one of our "motion" songs just to get the kids moving. But then I got the brilliant idea that I should use some actual teddy bears. Sure enough, I found 15 small teddy bears around the house. Now this is one of the kiddos favorite songs - they LOVE Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear. I have them hug their bear and help the bear get some exercise before the bears need to take a nap. We hug them again and put them back in the bin with their friends to nap. They are so sweet with these teddies!

Shake Your Sillies Out
I've gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out (shake from head-to-toe)
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
And wiggle my waggles away! (twist and shake)

Verse 2: I've gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out (clap to the beat)...
Verse 3: I've gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out (jump to the beat)...

I use this one much like If You're Happy And You Know It...if we need to get some extra energy out. My older kiddos do better with this one, but it is still fun.
