A Little Wheel Turning
(American Folk Song)
There's a little wheel a-
turning in my heart,
There's a little wheel a-
turning in my heart,
In my heart —,
In my heart —,
There's a little wheel a-
turning in my heart!
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, kind
and good,
Is honored and loved
by many.
To help us remember this
president,
We put his face on
the penny.

Oh, My Darling Valentine
(To the tune of Clementine)
February is a short month
28 days or 29
In the middle is a love-day,
Won't you be my Valentine?
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling
Oh, my darling Valentine.
In the middle is alove-day,
Won't you be my Valentine?

I Love You Little
I love you little.
I love you big.
I love you like
A little pig.
traditional
I Love You, I Love You
I love you, I love you,
I love you so well;
If I had a peanut,
I'd give you the shell.

Valentine
I made a penguin yesterday
So jolly fat and fine.
I put a red heart on
his chest
And named him Valentine
traditional
adabpted by Nora Flanagan
Roses are Red
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.

To My Valentine
If apples were pears
And peaches were plums
And the rose had a different name,
If tigers were bears
And fingers were thumbs,
I'd love you just the same!

Make New Friends
(American Folk Song)
Make new friends,
But keep the old.
One is silver,
And the other's gold.
A circle is round,
It has no end.
That's how long
I want to be your friend!
I Like Hearts
(To the tune of Twinkle Little Star)
Red Hearts,
White hearts,
Pink hearts, too.
I like purple hearts.
How about you?
Blue hearts,
Yellow hearts,
Green hearts, too.
I like rainbow hearts.
How about you?

Valentine Faces
This is Valentine happy.
This is Valentine sad.
Now you see her sleepy.
Now you see her mad.
This is Valentine in
pieces small.
But in my mailbox, she's
best of all!

Skin-na-ma-rin-ky doo,
I love you!
Skin-na-ma-rin-ky din-ky dink,
Skin-na-ma-rin-ky doo,

And underneath the moon.

I love you!

I Love You Little, I Love You Lots
I love you little,
I love you lots,
My love for you would fill

13 kettles,
14 pans,
3 teacups,
and 6 dishpans.

You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are gray.
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you.
Please don’t take
My sunshine away.

I Love The Mountains
I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills
I love the fountains
I love the daffodils
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low.

Boom-dee-ah-da
Boom-dee-ah-da
Boom!

I’m a Little Groundhog

I’m a little groundhog
short and stout,

I come out.
If I see my shadow,
they will shout
Six more weeks of winter—
no doubt!
