Open Shut Them
Open shut them, Open shut them,
Give a little clap clap clap!
Open shut them, Open shut them,
Put them in your lap, lap, lap!
Creep them, crawl them,
Creep them, crawl them,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin!
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!
Jacksonville Bridges
(tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
The Main Street Bridge goes up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The Main Street Bridge goes up and down,
All day long.
... railroad bridge goes open and shut
… Acosta Bridge is really tall
… Dames Point Bridge is EXTRA tall
Over the Bridge
(tune: The Bear Went Over the Mountain)
The bridge goes over the water,
The bridge goes over the water,
The bridge goes over the water,
And I go over the bridge! And I go over the bridge, and I go over the bridge.
The bridge goes over the water, and I go over the bridge.
Alligator, Alligator
Alligator, alligator sitting on a log.
Down in the river, he spied a frog.
SPLASH!
Goes the water, away swims the frog.
Teasing Mr. Osprey
Five little fish in the river blue
Teasing Mr Osprey
“How slow are you?!?”
Down swoops Mr. Osprey
Quiet as can be and…SNAP!
…4,3,2,1
Here Is the River
(suit actions to words)
Here is the river, the rolling river
Here is my boat,
And here is me
All of the fishes
Down below
Wiggle their tails
And way they go.
Little Duck
I saw a little duck go hop, hop, hop
I told the little duck to stop, stop, stop
I went to the riverbank to say, ‘How do you do?’
He wagged his little tail and away he flew!
Little Turtle
There was a little turtle,
He lived in a box,
He swam in the river
And climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
He snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.
Six Little Ducks
Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones too
But the one little duck with a feather on his back
He led the others with his quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack, quack, Quack, quack quack,
He led the others with his quack, quack, quack
Down to the river they would go
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wobble to and fro…
