The Goldfish (Let’s Go Swimming) by Laurie Berkner Band

“The Goldfish (Let’s Go Swimming) by Laurie Berkner Band is a fun and interactive summer anthem that invites children to join in on the adventure of swimming like goldfish, bringing the magic of underwater exploration to life through its whimsical lyrics and catchy tune.”

Lots of little fish were sleeping on a rock
In the bottom of the ocean
They lifted up their heads and they shook out their tails
And they said let’s go swimming.

Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
Yeah let’s go swimming
Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
in the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very very tired.
But they came back to the rock
They put down their heads and they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And when they woke up
(They were a little bit dirty. So they took a shower)
And they washed their hair
And they washed their ears
And they washed their tummies
And they washed their very long fishy beards
And they washed their noses
And they washed their toeses
And then they said
“Wait a minute we’re fish, we don’t take showers!”

Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
Yeah let’s go swimming
Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very very tired.
But they came back to the rock
They put down their heads and they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And When they woke up
(They decided to ride their bicycles)
So they rode to the left
And they rode to the right
And road all daaaaay and they rode all night night night night night
And they rode down the hill
And then faster still
And then they said:
“Wait a minute we’re fish, we don’t ride bicycles!”

Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
Yeah let’s go swimming
Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
In the bottom of the ocean

Then the little fish got so very very tired.
But they came back to the rock
They put down their heads and they put down their tails
And they took a little nap

And when they woke up
(They decided to brush their teeth)
So they got out their toothbrush.
And their toothpaste
And they squeezed a little on
They really liked the taste.
Then they put it in their mouth
They brushed north and south
Chuka chee chukka chee Chuka chee chukka chee.
And then they said:
“Wait a minute we’re fish, we don’t brush our teeth!”

Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
Yeah let’s go swimming
Let’s go swimming, let’s go swimming
in the bottom of the ocean

Down By The Bay by Raffi

https://youtu.be/jAjhLexlrDc

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever you ever see a goose
kissing a moose?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever see a whale
With a polka dot tail?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever see a fly
Wearing a tie?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever see a bear
Combing his hear?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever see a llama
Eating pajamas?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
“Did you ever have a time
When you couldn’t make a rhyme?”
Down by the bay

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do…

Butterfly by Nancy Kopman

Butterfly, flying in the sky
I wonder where you are going?
Flutter fast through the trees and grass
and the garden where things are growing

Wish you’d land here inside my hand
but I know it’s better for me to
watch you dance while I have this
chance and just be happy to be with you

Butterfly flying by I’m happy we were together.
Hope you know as you go:
Being with you just made this moment better.

It’s a Beautiful Day by The Singing Walrus

There’s something in the air
I want to go outside
I see the golden sun
Up in the blue, blue sky
And the clouds have gone away
It’s a beautiful day

There’s something in the air
I want to go outside
I see the flowers bloom
Blue, yellow, pink, and white
And the clouds have gone away
It’s a beautiful day

And I will
Walk down a pretty road
See the birds and say hello
Sing a sweet melody
Sweet as the air I breathe
And the clouds have gone away
It’s a beautiful day

Long nights and frozen trees
Cold winds and empty streets
All gone and far away
On this new day

There’s something in the air
I want to go outside
I see the golden sun
Up in the blue, blue sky
And the clouds have gone away
It’s a beautiful day

And I will
Walk down a pretty road
See the birds and say hello
Sing a sweet melody
Sweeeet as the air I breathe
And the clouds have gone away
It’s a beautiful day

La la la lala la…
It’s a beautiful day

I’m a Fish! by Miss Patty

When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
I can swim like a Dolphin
I can swim like a shark
When I’m in the water I’m a fish
I’m a fish!

When I want to go fast (Fast, fast)
I roll my arms in a circle (circle, circle)
When I want to go fast (fast, fast)
I roll my arms in a circles
When I want to go faster (faster, faster)
I kick my feet like scissors (scissors, scissors)
When I want to go faster (faster, faster)
I kick my feet like scissors

When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
I can swim like a Dolphin
I can swim like a shark
When I’m in the water I’m a fish
I’m a fish!

When I want to backwards (backwards)
I roll my arms in a circle (circle, circle)
When I want to backwards (backwards)
I roll my arms in a circles
When I want to take a break (stop, rest)
I float on my back (float, float)
When I want to take a break (stop, rest)
I float on my back

I’m a big fish in the pool and the sea
In the bathtub swimming wild, swimming free!

When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
When I’m in the water I’m fish, fish
I can swim like a Dolphin
I can swim like a shark
When I’m in the water I’m a fish
I’m a fish!

You Are My Sunshine by Singing Bell feat. Sonia Ter Hovanessian

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

1. The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

2. I’ll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

Kids Summer Song by ELF Learning

We eat cold noodles
We drink iced tea
We go to the lake
We play in the sea
It’s summer, summer, summer, summer time!

We hear cicadas
We feel mosquitoes bite
We are hot all day
We are hot all night.
It’s summer, summer, summer, summer time!

We have water fights
We swim in the pool
We learn lots of English
At summer school
It’s summer, summer, summer, summer time!

We go on vacation
With our family
Summer is fun for you
It’s fun for me
It’s summer, summer, summer, summer time!

FROZEN | In Summer by Olaf

[Really?
I’m guessing you don’t have much experience with heat
Nope, but sometimes, I like to close my eyes
And imagine what it’d be like when summer does come, huh]

Bees’ll buzz,
Kids’ll blow dandelion fuzz
And I’ll be doing whatever snow does in summer

A drink in my hand,
My snow up against the burning sand
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer

I’ll finally see a summer breeze
Blow away a winter storm
And find out what happens to solid water
When it gets warm

And I can’t wait to see
What my buddies all think of me
Just imagine how much cooler I’ll be in summer

The hot and the cold are both so intense
Put ’em together, it just makes sense
Winter’s a good time to stay in and cuddle
But put me in summer and I’ll be a happy snowman

When life gets rough,
I like to hold on to my dream
Of relaxing in the summer sun,
just lettin’ off steam

Oh, the sky will be blue
And you guys’ll be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer
[I’m gonna tell him (don’t you dare)]
In summer
