song Smile
A Smile is Quite a Funny ThingA smile is quite a funny thing,
It wrinkles up your face,
And when it's gone you never find
Its secret hiding place.
But far more wonderful it is,
To see what smiles can do.
You smile at one, he smiles at you,
And so one smile makes two.
He smiles at someone, since you smile,
And then that one smiles back,
And that one smiles until, in truth,
You fail in keeping track.
And since a smile can do great good,
By cheering hearts of care.
Let's smile and not forget the fact
That smiles go everywhere. song Bill'sBill Grogan's Goat
(Audience repeats each line after Leader)
Bill Grogan's goat
Was fellin' fine
Ate three red shirts
Right off the line
Bill took a stick
Gave him a whack
And tied him to
The railroad track
The whistle blew
The train drew nigh
Bill Grogan's goat
Was doomed to die
He gave three groans
Of awful pain
up the shirts
And flagged the train
That's all there is
This story's done
I hope you had
A lot of fun

song earsDo your ears hang low?
(Tune: Turkey in the Straw)
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they're wet?
Do they stiffen when they're dry?
Can you semifore your neighbor
