One Snake

 *can be sung to “She’ll be coming ‘round the mountain” 

There was 1 snake hiding in the grass: sss sss

There was 1 snake hiding in the grass: sss sss

Oh, he slithered ‘round the bend where he met a new snake friend.

And the friend came and joined him at the pass: sss sss.

(Repeat for 2, 3, 4)

There's a Spider on the Floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for any more than a spider on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.

There's a spider on my leg, on my leg
There's a spider on my leg, on my leg
Oh he's really very big, this spider on my leg
There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.

There's a spider on my tummy, on my tummy
There's a spider on my tummy, on my tummy
Oh it really isn't funny, there's a spider on my tummy
There's a spider on my tummy, on my tummy.

There's a spider on my arm, on my arm
There's a spider on my arm, on my arm
It doens't mean any harm, this spider on my arm
There's a spider on my arm, on my arm.

There's a spider on my face, on my face.
There's a spider on my face, on my face
Oh, what a big disgrace, there's a spider on my face
There's a spider on my face, on my face.

There's a spider on my head, on my head
There's a spider on my head, on my head
Oh, I wish I was in bed, there's a spider on my head
There's a spider on my head, on my head.

(speak)  Then the spider jumps off...

There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor
Who could ask for any more than a spider on the floor
There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.

Little Miss Muffet
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider
And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
