Spooky Songs

Oranges and Lemons

The bells of London with a chopper waiting at the end

Ring a Ring o' Roses

The singing game that isn't about the plague

Solomon Grundy

Born on a Monday, buried on Sunday — a life in one week

The Skeleton Dance

Them bones them bones them dancing bones — connect the skeleton and dance

Ding Dong Bell

The cautionary cat-in-the-well rhyme with a surprisingly ancient history

Goosey, Goosey Gander

A goose wanders the house and throws an old man down the stairs

I Love Little Kitty

A gentle cat, a warm fire, and a promise of kindness

Inchworm

Two and two are four — counting marigolds while missing their beauty

Is That Teddy Ready for Bed?

A bedtime song about pyjamas, teeth, teddy bears and getting ready for sleep

Ladybird, Ladybug

Fly away home — your house is on fire and your children are gone

London's Burning

A four-part round that conjures the panic of the Great Fire of London

Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?

Ears cut short and tail cut long — where has the little dog wandered?

One Potato, Two Potato

A medley of counting rhymes and playground dips
