Five Little Elephants
(tune: Five Little Ducks)

One elephant went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
He had such enormous fun
That he called for another elephant to come. 

Two little elephants went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come. 

Three elephants went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come. 

Four elephants went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day.
They had such enormous fun
That they called for another elephant to come.

Five elephants went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day.
The web went creak, the web went crack
And five elephants came running back!

 If You're Royal and You Know It
(Tune:  If You're Happy and You Know It)

If you're royal and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're royal and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're royal and you know it, then you really ought to show it.
If you're royal and you know it, clap your hands.

If you're royal and you know it, take a bow.
If you're royal and you know it, take a bow.
If you're royal and you know it, then you really ought to show it.
If you're royal and you know it, take a bow.

If you're royal and you know it, shout hurray.
If you're royal and you know it, shout hurray.
If you're royal and you know it, then you really ought to show it.
If you're royal and you know it, shout hurray.

The Knights Go Marching
(Tune: The Ants go Marching)

The knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The knights go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah,
The knights go marching one by one, they stop and stand to see the sun.
And they all go marching down to the cave, to capture the dragon. 

The knights go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
    ...they stop to see what's new

The knights go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah.
    ...they stop and rest by the tree.

The knights go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah,
    ..they listen to the dragon snore.

The knights go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah.
    they see the dragon, he's alive.

Kings & Queens
(Tune: Michael Finnegan)

One royal, two royal, three royal queens.
Four royal, five royal, six royal queens.
Seven royal, eight royal, nine royal queens.
Ten royal queens, all in a row. 

One royal, two royal, three royal kings..
Four royal, five royal, six royal kings.
Seven royal, eight royal, nine royal kings.
Ten royal kings, all in a row. 

All Around the Castle
(Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

All around the castle
The knight chased the dragon
The dragon thought it was all in fun.
Roar! Went the dragon.

Castle Capers
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)

I am the king of running,
I run and run and run.
My subjects all run with me.
And we have so much fun. 

I am the prince of turning
I turn and turn and turn.
My subjects all turn with me
It's an easy thing to learn. 

I am the princess of dancing
I dance and dance and dance. 
My subjects all dance with me
And dance when they get the chance. 

I am the queen of jumping
I jump and jump and jump.
My subjects all jump with me. 
And sit down with a bump.
