Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock.

Two...the mouse said "Boo!"

Four...there is no more!

Mouse Clapping
Give two claps after each line **

Behind the tree **
And under the house **
There lived a teeny **
Tiny mouse **
She loved to sing **
She loved to tap **
But most of all **
She loved to clap **
She clapped all night **
She clapped all day **
She clapped to frighten **
The cat away ********

Old Gray Cat

The old gray cat is sleeping, sleeping
The old gray cat is sleeping, sleeping in her bed.

The little mice are creeping, creeping
The little mice are creeping, creeping through the house.

The little mice are eating, eating
The little mice are eating, eating all her food.

Little mice are climbing...on the cat.
Little mice are jumping...on her back.
Little mice are dancing...'round the cat
Old gray cat is waking...from her nap
Little mice are hiding...from the cat.
Old gray cat is creeping...through the house.
Little mice all scamper...through the house.
