The Ash Grove Down yonder green valley where streamlet meander, When twilight is fading I pensively rove, Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove. It’s there that the blackbird is cheerfully singing Each warbler enchants with his notes from the tree. Ah, then little think I of sorrow or sadness The ash grove entrancing spells beauty for me. I’m a Nut Song I’m a nut that’s big and round, Lying on the cold, cold ground. People come and stomp on me, That is why I’m cracked, you see. Chorus: I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut (clap, clap), I’m a nut, I’m a nut, I’m a nut (clap, clap). Called myself on the telephone, Just to see if I was home. Asked myself out on a date; Picked me up at half past eight. CHORUS Took myself to the picture show, Sat right down in the very third row. Wrapped my arms around my waist, Got so fresh, I slapped my face. CHORUS Birdie, birdie in the sky, Dropped some whitewash in my eye. I’m a big girl, I won’t cry, Just as long as you know why. CHORUS Coca Cola went to town, Pepsi Cola shot him down. Dr. Pepper fixed him up, Now he looks like 7-Up. CHORUS 1 Baby Duck Song Ohhhhh, Wasn’t it a bit of luck that I was born a baby duck!

But I didn’t buy no henny. CHORUS: Instead, I bought bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum, Bazooka-zooka bubblegum. My mom gave me a dime. She said go buy a lime. But I didn’t buy no lime. CHORUS My mom gave me a quarter. She said go buy some water. But I didn’t buy no water. CHORUS My mom gave me a dollar. She said go buy a collar. But I didn’t buy no collar.

At each “bubblegum” clap hands above head and move head in a circle several times. 3 The Bear Song The other day (The other day), Was ten feet up (Was ten feet up) I met a bear (I met a bear), I had to jump (I had to jump) A way up there (A way up there), And trust my luck (And trust my luck) A great big bear!

But the thing that they told us Would gross out a moose, For the good-tasting pink drink Was really bug juice. It looks fresh and fruity Like tasty Kool-Aid. But the bugs that are in it Were murdered with Raid. We drank it by gallons, We drank it by tons, But then the next morning, We all had the runs. Next time you drink bug juice And a fly drives you mad, He’s just getting even ‘Cause you swallowed his dad.
