When Cows Get Up in the Morning
with puppets

When cows get up in the morning they always say "Good Day"
When cows get up in the morning they always say "Good Day"
"Moo, moo, moo" that's how they say good day

Sitting in My High Chair

Sitting in my high chair
Big chair, my chair
Sitting in my high chair banging my spoon.

Bring out the carrots
Bring out the peas
Somebody feed this baby please!

One Bright Scarf
One bright scarf waiting for the wind to blow
Wiggle it high, wiggle it low
Shake it fast, shake it slow
High it behind your back
Where'd it go?
