List of a few classic children's songs

Want to sing with your child but can't seem to remember any kids' songs? Here's a handy list of classics that will help jog your memory:

Head and Shoulders
Head and shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes, knees and toes
Head and shoulders knees and toes
Eyes ears mouth and nose

Itsy Bitsy Spider
Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Up came the sun and dried up all the rain
Then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

I'm A Little Teapot
I'm a little teapot short and stout
Here is my handle here is my spout
When I get all steamed up hear me shout
Just tip me over and pour me out

You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
And when I woke dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please dont take my sunshine away

Hokey Pokey
You put your right hand in, you put your right hand out
You put your right hand in, and you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about

You put your left hand in...
You put your right foot in...
You put your left foot in...
You put your head in...
You put your tongue in...
You put your elbow/shoulder/knee/ear/bum/eye...(make up your own!)
You put your whole self in...

Mary Had A Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow
Everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went
Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go


Of course, there are many, many kids' songs out there. These are just some of the classic favourites that are good to start with. I know sometimes I want to sing a song and realize that I've completely forgotten every song I know! This list is simply to refresh your memory for fast recall.

Happy singing!
