Dancing on the Farm

 
Jump, sing and dance along! Explore new rhythms, theme-related lyrics and instruments unique to the featured musical genre of the month. While dancing along to the music, children build coordination and balance as they learn to creatively express ideas through movement.


 

Track 1 - Rooster Dance

Cock-a-doodle-doo
Sing like the roosters do
In the morning blue
Just cock-a-doodle-doo.

Wooble on your feet
Dance to the rooster beat
In the afternoon heat
I said wobble on your feet.

Flap wings in the sky
Come on rooster fly
In the evening try
To flap wings in the sky!

 

Track 2 - Don't Drop the Chicken Egg

Don't drop the chicken egg
Don't drop the chicken egg
Don't drop the chicken egg
'Cause if you do that egg goes SPLAT!

Bend down low and crouch in the coop
Bend down low and crouch in the coop
Bend down low and crouch in the coop
And don't drop that egg

Reach in the box and grab the chicken egg
Reach in the box and grab the chicken egg
Reach in the box and grab the chicken egg
And don't drop that egg

 

Track 3 - Can You Plant a Bean?

Can you plant a bean?
Watch it grow up big and green
Can you water the seeds
And pull out all the weeds?
Can you shine like the sun
And pick pods one by one?
Workin' is done
Now lets eat that bean

 

Track 4 - Catch the Pig

P-I-G
Catch the pig
The pig escaped
Yes he did
P-I-G
Catch the pig
He's runnin' all over the farm

"Oink," said the pig as he ran away
"Oink's" what he says when he wants to play
"Oink," said the pig as he ran away
He's runnin' all over the farm

I clap my hands
Then I yell STOP
Come back pig
I've got a pail of slop
I clap my hands
Then I yell STOP
He's runnin' all over the farm

There he is
Lying in the mud
He got tired
But he had a lot of fun
There he is
Lying in the mud
He's done runnin' all over the farm

 

Track 5 - Wheels on the Tractor

The wheels on the tractor
go round and round
Round and round; round and round
The wheels on the tractor
go round and round
All day long

The blades on the combine
go criss cross criss
Criss cross criss; criss cross criss
The blades on the combine
go criss cross criss
Cutting the grain

The grain in the silo goes up, up, up
Up up up; up up up
The grain in the silo goes up, up, up
As we pour it in

 

Track 6 - Workin' on the Farm

Bendin' way down
To plant a seed
Standing back up
When I pull up a weed

Workin' on the farm
I'll do my job
From sun up to sun down
Workin' hard
Workin' on the farm

Diggin' with a shovel
There's a hole to make
Spreading out the dirt
I'll use my rake

Time to load the truck
Life up the hay
Then throw it off the back
Feed the cows today

 

Track 7 - Counting Sheep

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Count 'em again
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Sheep in a pen

Find the missing sheep
It's somewhere out of sight
Look to the left
And look to the right
And put the sheep in the pen

Walk to the left
Walk to the right
Find the missing sheep
And hold on to them tight
And put the sheep in the pen

 

Track 8 - Clap Clop Horse

(Instrumental)

 

Track 9 - Cow in My House

There's a cow in my house
What should I do
I tried and I tried
To make him go outside
I pushed and pulled
But he sat down to stay
He said COME ON LET'S PLAY
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
But the cow ate my bread
This is what he said
I JUST NEED TO BE FED
NOW LET'S NAP ON YOUR BED
When the cow woke up
He took my cup
And went to the sink
To pour himself a drink
When the sun sank low,
I said COW IT'S TIME TO GO
He said I KNOW
AND I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW
 

Track 10 - Mud

There's mud in the field
'cause it rained last night
Yep there's mud in the field all right
There's mud in the field, now it's on my boots
Now there's mud in the house now, too.
Oops
Mud, mud, mud
Squishing the mud
Mud, mud, mud
Having fun in the mud
 

Track 11 - Corn on the Cob

You're a little seed
Planted in the spring
Then a little sprout
Your leaves are poking out
Now you're growing tall
Reaching for the sun
Look, little ears of corn
You gotta love some corn
Corn on the cob
Let me hear you say it
Corn on the cob
I wanna hear you crunch it
Corn on the cob
Yeah you know you love it
Corn on the cob
Ya love the summer heat
You're swaying in the breeze
Green and tall and strong
Your ears are growing long
It's finally time to pick you
And pull off your husk
Now let's see how good you taste
 

Track 12 - Hayride Harvest

(Instrumental)
