Songs for Children
Listen to the Water




Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.
Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river
Raise hands, one at time, to each ear, pretending to listen.

We saw some birds by the waterside. We saw some birds by the waterside. We saw some birds by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside.
Make bird, up in the air in front of you, chirping using thumb and index finger.

Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.
Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.

We saw some ducks by the waterside. We saw some ducks by the waterside. We saw some ducks by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside.
Same as birds but use both hands. Clap hands for duck’s beak.

Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.
Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.

We saw some kids by the waterside. We saw some kids by the waterside. We saw some kids by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside.
Laugh like a child. Perhaps even go around and lightly tickle children to make them giggle.

Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.
Listen to the water. Listen to the water, rolling down the river.

We saw some flowers by the waterside. Ah! We saw some flowers by the waterside. Ah! We saw some flowers by the waterside. Ah! Oh, oh, by the waterside. Oh, oh, by the waterside.
Sing this one very quietly and slowly. Pretend to pick a flower and smell.
