Classic Children's Tales Storytime Song Lyrics

Open Shut Them
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap, clap, clap
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Lay they in your lap, lap, lap
Creep them, crawl them
Creep them, crawl them
Right up to your chin
Open up your little mouth
But do not let them in!

If You’re Happy and You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands (x2)
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
 
But if you’re sad and you know it, wipe your eyes (2x)
If you’re sad and you know and you really want to show it
If you’re sad and you know it, wipe your eyes.
 
But if you’re mad and you know it, stamp you’re feet (2x)
If you’re mad and you know and you really want to show it
If you’re mad and you know it, stamp your feet.
 
But if you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands (x2)
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.
 
Eensy Weensy Spider
Eensy weensy spider
Went up the water spout (Climb up fingers)
Down came the rain (Wiggle fingers down from head to waist)
And washed the spider out (Throw arms to sides)
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.  (Raise hands above head, make circle for sun)
Now the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again.
 
 - Teeny Weeny Spider (sing in a soft voice)
 - Great Big Spider (sing in a loud voice)
 
Grandma’s Glasses
These are Grandma’s glasses (make circles with fingers around eyes).
This is Grandma’s hat (tap head)
This is the way Grandma folds her hands, just like that  (fold hands).
These are Grandpa’s glasses.
This is Grandpa’s hat.
This is the way Grandpa fold his arms just like that (fold arms across body).
 
Shake My Sillies Out
I've gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
I've gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out,
Clap, clap, clap my crazies out,
Clap, clap, clap my crazies out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
I've gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out,
Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out,
Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
I’ve gotta jog, jog, jog my jitters out,
Jog, jog, jog my jitters out,
Jog, jog, jog my jitters out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
I’ve gotta stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out,
Stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out,
Stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
I've gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out,
Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out,
Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
Tall As a Tree
I’m tall as a tree
Wide as a house
Thin as a pin
Small as a mouse
 
Jack in the Box
Jack in the box (crouch down)
Jack in the box
Stills so still
Will he come out?
Yes he will (jump as high as you can)
 
I Have Ten Fingers
I have ten fingers and they belong to me (show ten fingers)
I can make them do things,
Would you like to see?  (wiggle fingers)
I can shut them up tight
I can open them wide
I can put them together
I can make them all hide
I can reach them up high
I can reach them down low
I can put them together
And fold them just so

Then you take the grapes and you pick ‘em
Then you take the grapes and you smash ‘em (stomp feet)
Then you take the grapes and spread ‘em...

Then you take the sandwich and you bite it…
Then you chew it…
Then you swallow it…
