Two Little Blackbirds
Two little blackbirds sitting on a hill. Put your right hand on your right shoulder,
and your left hand on your left shoulder.
One named Jack. Show your right hand, with your fingers together like a bird.
One named Jill. Show your left hand, with your fingers together like a bird.
Fly away, Jack. Flutter the “bird” around, then hide it behind your back.
Fly away, Jill. Flutter the “bird” around, then hide it behind your back.
Come back, Jack. Flutter the “bird” around, as you return it to its shoulder.
Come back, Jill. Flutter the “bird” around, as you return it to its shoulder.

Autumn leaves are a-falling;Red and yellow and brown;Autumn leaves are a-falling,

Tra, la, la, la, la, la,Autumn leaves are a-falling,
See them fluttering down.

Autumn Lullaby
The sun has gone from the shining skies,
Bye, baby, bye,
The dandelions have closed their eyes,
Bye, baby, bye.
The stars are lighting their lamps to see
If babes and squirrels and birds and bees,
Are sound asleep as they should be,
Bye, baby, bye.
The squirrel keeps warm in his furs of gray,
Bye, baby, bye,
'Neath feathers, birdies are tucked away,
Bye, baby, bye.
In yellow jackets, the bees sleep tight
And cuddle close through the chilly night,
My baby's snug in her gown of white,
Bye, baby, bye.
The squirrel nests in a big oak tree,
Bye, baby, bye,
He finds a hole in the trunk, you see,
Bye, baby, bye.
The robin's home is a nest overhead,
The bees, they nest in a hive instead,
My baby's nest is her little bed,
Bye, baby, bye.

Five fat turkeys are we,We spent the night in a tree.
When the cook came around,We couldn’t be found
And that’s why we’re here, you see!
Oh, five fat turkeys are we,We spent the night in a tree.
It sure does pay on Thanksgiving Day,To sleep in the tallest tree!
Five Fat Turkeys Are We

Turkey In the Straw
As I was a-goin'
On down the road
With a tired team
And a heavy load
I cracked my whip
And the leader sprung
I says day-day
To the wagon tongue
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw
Went out to milk
And I didn't know how
I milked the goat
Instead of the cow
A monkey sittin'
On a pile of straw
A winkin' at
His mother-in-law
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

Turkey In the Straw
I came to the river
And I couldn't get across
So I paid five dollars
For a big bay hoss
Well, he wouldn't go ahead
And he wouldn't stand still
So he went up and down
Like an old saw mill
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw
Did you ever go fishin'
On a warm summer day
When all the fish
Were swimmin' in the bay
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
Did you ever see a fishie
Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance?
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hey
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw
