The More We Get Together
The more we get together, together, together,
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be.
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends.
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be.
The more we share together,
Together, together,
The more we share together,
The happier we'll be.
For sharing is caring and caring is sharing,
The more we share together,
The happier we'll be.

Stamp them loud, then stamp them soft.
Now, don't make a sound.

Hush Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing.
Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and pull turns over,
Papa's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
If that dog named Rover don't bark,
Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart falls down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Bumpety Bump, A Mother Goose Rhyme
(On Bumps and Lumps, bounce baby on knees)
A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare
BUMPETY, BUMPETY BUMP!
With his daughter behind him so rosy and fair
LUMPETY, LUMPETY, LUMP!
A raven cried "croak" and they all tumbled down
BUMPETY, BUMPETY, BUMP!
The mare banged her knees and the farmer his crown
LUMPETY, LUMPETY, LUMP!

BUMPETY, BUMPETY, BUMP!
And he vowed he would serve them the same the next day
LUMPETY, LUMPETY, LUMP!
