The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell.The farmer takes a wife, the farmer takes a wife.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer takes a wife.The wife takes a child, the wife takes a child.

Hi-ho, the derry-o, the cat takes a rat.The rat takes a cheese, the rat takes a cheese.
Hi-ho, the derry-o, the rat takes a cheese.The cheese stands alone, the cheese stands alone.

Over in the Barnyard [Tune: Down by the Station ]
Over in the barnyard, early in the morning,
See the yellow chickies, standing in a row.
See the busy farmer, giving them their breakfast.
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep off they go.…See the pink piggies, routing in a row….
Oink, oink, oink, oink.. off they go.…See the brown cows, stomping in a row…
moo, moo, moo, moo… off they go.
Prance, Waddle and Scamper [Tune: Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush ]
This is the way the horses prance, the horses prance, the horses prance,
This is the way the horses prance out of the barn. (Lift knees high to make prancing steps)This is the way the huge cows move, the huge cows move, the huge cows move,
The is the way the huge cows move while grazing in the the field. ( Crawl slowly)This is the way the yellow ducks waddle, the yellow ducks waddle, the yellow ducks waddle,
This is the way the yellow ducks waddle, down to the pond. ( Hands on hips to make wings, toes pointed out and waddle walk)This is the way the baby chicks scamper, the baby chicks scamper, the baby chicks scamper.
This is the way the baby chicks scamper, behind the mother hen. ( Little steps quickly on tiptoe )This is the way the big pig sleeps, the big pig sleeps, the big pig sleeps.
This is the way the big pig sleeps, in the mud and hay. ( Lay down on side)
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
