You Are My Sunshine Song Lyrics

PLAY MUSIC

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.

You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away. The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms. When I awoke dear, I was mistaken, So I hung my head down and cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away.

Ten Little Angels One little , two little, three little angels Four little, five little, six little angels Seven little, eight little, nine little angels Ten little angels are here.

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O'er the field we go Laughing all the way...Ha Ha Ha! Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, Jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

Five Little Bells

Part of the preschool pageant sent in by the good people at Petersburg Children's Center in Petersburg, Alaska. Thank you!

Five little bells, hanging in a row. The first one said, ring me slow. The second one said, ring me fast. The third one said, ring me last. The fourth one said, I'm like a chime. The fifth one said, ring us all at one time!

(Actually it is just counting to 12 and say "Happy New Year" but with hand motions. Some teachers use the 12 months instead of numbers, and it's a great way to teach the names of the months anytime of year, and fun too!)

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, My two front teeth, see my two front teeth. Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas." It seems so long since I could say, "Sister Susie sitting on a thistle." Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be If I could only whistle. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, My two front teeth, see my two front teeth Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."
