July - The Fourth of July
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle came to town, A-ridin' on a pony; He stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy; Mind the music and the steps And with the girls be handy. Father and I went down to camp, Along with Cap'n Goodwin; The men and boys all stood around As thick as hasty puddin'. Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle Dandy; Mind the music and the steps
And with the girls be handy. September - Back to School
Autumn
In autumn when the trees are brown The little leaves come tumbling down They do not make the slightest sound But lie so quietly on the ground Until the wind comes puffing by And blows them off towards the sky. October - Halloween
Five little pumpkins
Five little pumpkins Sitting on a gate The first one said, "My it's getting late!" The second one said, "There are witches in the air!" The third one said, "Good folk, beware!" The fourth one said, "We'll run and run!" The fifth one said, "Let's have some fun!" "WOOOOOOOH", went the wind, And OUT went the light; And the five little pumpkins Rolled out of sight! Treat
by Jack Prelutsky
Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give us something good to eat. Give us candy, give us cake, Give us something sweet to take. Give us cookies, fruit and gum, Hurry up and give us some. You had better do it quick Or we'll surely play a trick. Trick or treat, trick or treat, Give us something good to eat. It's Halloween
by Jack Prelutsky
It's Halloween! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright And we shall see what can't be seen On any other night: Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels, Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms. In masks and gouns we haunt the street And knock on doors for trick or treat. Tonight we are the king and queen, For oh tonight it's Halloween! November - Thanksgiving
Turkey in the Straw
Oh I was a'goin' down a dusty road, With a team of horses and a great big load; It was oh such a warm and lazy afternoon, So I cracked my whip and started sing-in' a tune.
Dancin' tonight, dancin' tonight, Dancin' to-night, dancin' tonight, Happiest people you ever saw Will be dancin' together To the Turkey in the Straw! December - Christmas
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming. Christmas is coming.
Christmas is coming, The geese are getting fat, Please put a penny In the old man's hat. If you haven't got a penny, A ha'penny will do. If you haven't got a ha'penny, Then God bless you. Christmas is coming. Christmas is coming. It's Christmas!
It's Christmas! Merry Christmas! Yes, it's merry, merry Christmas, it's time for hanging stockings, It's time for riding sleighs, It's time for jolly greeting, Snow and holly, overeating, Oh, I love you merry Christmas, You're the best of holidays Little Jack Horner
Little Jack Horner, Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas pie, He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said What a good boy am I. The Birthday
My Birthday
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, dear Carmen! Happy Birthday to you! Birthdays
Ogden Nash
My birthdays take so long to start, They come along a year apart. It's worse than waiting for a bus; I fear I used to fret and fuss, But now, when by impatience vexed, Between one birthday and the next, I think of all that I have seen That keeps on happening in between. The songs I've heard, the things I've done, Make my un-birthdays not so un-. Birthdays
Ogden Nash
Everything's been different All the day long, Lovely things have happened, Nothing has gone wrong. Nobody has scolded me, Everyone has smiled. Isn't it delicious To be a birthday child?
