The Nest Song Sheet
At The Nest, we sing throughout the day.
These are the lyrics to some of our favorite songs. We hope that you will sing at home, too!
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy spider
Went up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Went up the spout again
(variations: the silly, silly spider,
great big hairy spider)
Down by the Bay
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
Did you ever see a
Bear combing his hair
Down by the bay
(variations: goose kissing a moose, llama wearing pajamas)
Five Little Ducks
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mama duck said,
“Quack, quack, quack”
And four little ducks came back
(continue with 4, 3, 2, 1, to 0)
So Mama duck went out one day,
Over the hills and far away
Mama duck said,
“Quack! Quack! Quack!”
And five little ducks came back
Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia
Give thanks to the risen Lord
Alleluia, Alleluia Give praise to his name
Deep and Wide
Deep and wide
Deep and wide
There’s a fountain flowing
Deep and wide
(repeat)
If I Were a Butterfly
If I were a butterfly I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings
And if I were a robin in a tree I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
And if I were a fish in the sea
I’d wiggle my tail and giggle with glee, but I just thank you Father
For making me, me
chorus
For you gave me a heart
And you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus
And you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were an elephant I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk
And if I were a kangaroo you know I’d hop right up to you
And if I were an octopus I’d
Thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father
For making me, me
If I were a wiggly worm I’d thank
You Lord that I could squirm
And if I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear
I’d thank you for my fuzzy wuzzy And if I were a crocodile I’d thank you Lord for my big smile
But I just thank you Father
For making me, me
