(Sung To: 'Ferec Jacques')
G's are Growing, G's are Growing
On the Ground, all around
Growing grass, and Goosebumps
Growing grass and goosebumps
On the Ground all Around (Tune: Frere Jacques) Gingerbread, gingerbread,
Yum, yum, yum, Yum, yum, yum.
I like gingerbread, I like gingerbread,
In my tum, In my tum. Groundhogs Day, I looked around,
Saw my shadow on the ground
Yes I saw my shadow, when I took a peek
That means winter for six more weeks. Way deep down in a hole in the ground
Lived little Georgie Groundhog All furry and round.
Little Georgie Groundhog popped up one day,
He looked around and decided to stay.
But just as Little Georgie Started to play
Out popped his shadow and frightened him away.
Back down his hole Little Georgie sped Back to his home
Back to his bed! I'm a little groundhog. Fuzzy and brown
When winter comes. I sleep underground,
I'm curled up. As cozy as can be.
When it's spring. Please wake up me(Sung To: 'Ferec Jacques') Mr. Groundhog, Mr. Groundhog.
Are you there? Are you there?
Will you see your shadow?
We all want to know
On this day, Groundhog Day. Little groundhog down below
Underneath the wintry snow.
Come on out and tell us true
Is spring coming? Is winter through? (Sung To:"I'm A Little Teapot") I'm a little ground hog, short and stout.
On ground hog day I pop my head out.
If I see my shadow I don't come out.
I stay down in my hole and pout.

• Alternative 1:
  I'm a little groundhog, furry and brown,
  See me pop while I look around,
  If I see my shadow, down I'll go
  Six more weeks of winter, oh no!
• Alternative 2
  I'm a little groundhog round and plump
  Here is my shadow here is my rump
  Oh I'm a little groundhog short and plump
  I see my shadow I see my rump.

First you take a shovel, a rake, and a hoe
Plant a little garden, Plant seeds in a row
Water them and weed them through all the summer heat
And then you'll have some flowers or vegetables to eat. Five green grapes growing on a vine (Hold up five fingers.)
I picked one cause it looked so fin (fold down one finger)
Four green grapes growing on a vine (Hold up four fingers.)
I picked another for my Valentine (fold down one finger)
Three green grapes growing on a vine. (Hold up three fingers.)
I ate another, I couldn't decline (fold down one finger)
Two green grapes growing on a vine (Hold two fingers up.)
I ate another in the sunshine (fold down one finger)
One green grape growing on a vine (Hold up one finger)
I ate it too, cause they were all mine (Fold down last finger)
(Tune: One, Two Buckle My Shoe) Once there was a gingerbread man
Baking in a gingerbread pan
Raisin eyes and cherry nose
Trimmed right down
To his fingers and toes
A gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan

Here's the old woman who made him so sweet
A treat for her and her husband to eat
She made him with flour and sugar and eggs
She gave him a face and two arms and two legs
A gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan

Now open the oven to see if he's done
This gingerbread boy, he know how to run
Out of the oven and onto the floor
Now run away out the kitchen door
The gingerbread man, he's out of the pan!

Now chase him old woman, now chase him old man
Chase him, yes chase him as fast as you can!
Through the garden and out the gate
Catch him right now, before it's too late
The gingerbread man, he's out of the pan!

Along came a cow who wanted a treat
And the gingerbread boy, he looked good to eat
Run, run, run, as fast as you can
You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
I'm the gingerbread man and I'm out of the pan!
(Repeat verse for Dog, Goose, Turtle, and Hog)

Along came a fox who wanted a treat
And this gingerbread boy, he looked good to eat
Jump on my back, my gingerbread pet
And we'll cross the river, so you won't get wet
Mr. Gingerbread man, who's out of the pan.

There was no place to go, there was no place to run
And a ride on the river could be lots of fun!
So off with the fox did Gingerbread go
And what happened next, you already know
To the gingerbread man, who's out of the pan

That sly old fox had a DELICIOUS treat
And the old man and woman had nothing to eat
Not a bite was left for the cow or the dog,
The goose or the turtle or hungry old hog
There's no gingerbread man! There's no gingerbread man!

So let us go home and get out the pan
And we'll make ourselves a new gingerbread man!
And when he is eaten, we'll make us some more
But this time be certain to lock the back door!
A new gingerbread man, in a gingerbread pan! My darling little goldfish (wiggle a finger)
Hasn't any toes (point to your toes)
He swims around without a sound (pretend to swim)
And bumps his angry nose (point to nose)
He can't get out to play with me (Point to your self)
Nor I get in to him (Point to other children)
Although I say Come out and play(motion finger for him to come)
He says, come in and swim(pretend to swim)
One little, two little, three little groundhogs.
Four little, five little Six little groundhogs.
Seven little, eight little, nine little groundhogs.
Sleeping down under the ground. Hey, Mr. Groundhog!
Sleeping groundhog, sleeping groundhog,
Today's the day; today's the day!
Tell us please if spring's near.
Or will winter stay here?
Come out and say! Come out and say. Everything Preschool >> Alphabet   >> The Letter G >> Songs
