40 Days on an Iceberg

Actions for each line of this song are in brackets ( ) below each line.

Forty days on an iceberg,
(flash ten fingers 4 times)
over the ocean blue.
(mimick waves with your hands)
Nothing to wear but pajamas,
(pull on PJ bottoms)
nothing to do but slide.
(mimick a slide with your hands)
The air was cold and frosty,
(shiver with arms crossed over your chest)
the frost began to bite.
(Gently pinch your arms)
I had to hug a polar bear,
to keep me warm at night!
(Hug the person next to you)

Similar to "Swimming, Swimming, in the swimming pool," this song losses a line each time you sing it again, humming in the place of the line you remove.

Pink Pajamas

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot,
I wear my flannel nighties in the winter when it's not,
and sometimes in the spring,
and sometimes in the fall,
I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

That's the time you aught to see me,
That's the time you aught to see me,
That's the time you aught to see me,
When I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
Nosy nosy what's it to ya?
When I jump into my little bed with nothing on at all.

Winter Camp Barges

This song goes to the tune of barges with lyrics about winter camping.

Out of my tent flap,
looking at the snow,
I can see my boots,
frozen down below.

Suddenly goes a blizzard through my tent,
I begin to wonder why I went.

Winter camp,
I don't want to go to you,
I don't want to freeze my butt off too.

Winter Camp,
but we all have so much fun,
it'll be three months till we see the sun.
