Cumulative Songs

It is fun to sing cumulative songs. These are songs where you keep adding elements/words every time you repeat the song. The grade one and two students have learned two cumulative songs in Music this last month. 

Rattlin' Bog

Green Grass Grew All Around

Try singing this new cumulative song I Bought Me a Cat. Here are the lyrics and the video. See if you can follow the words written underneath the video after you click PLAY. The highlighted words are the ones you will have to change for each verse. Good luck!

I bought me a Cat, 

The Cat pleased me. 

I fed my Cat under yonder tree. 

The Cat went "Fiddle eye fee, fiddle eye fee."

                               Hen           Chipsy chopsy

                               Duck         Splishy Splashy   

                               Goose       Honk honk

                               Sheep       Baa baa

                               Cow          Moo moo

                               Horse       Nay nay

There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea is another fun one. Try it!

Some other cumulative songs you might want to search for on YouTube are: There Was an Old Lady, An Austrian Went Yodeling and Open the Drawbridge.
