Songs

Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.

The itsy bitsy spider

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Blow the man down

Yo ho blow the man down. Yo ho blow the man down. On the sea all around blow the man down.
