Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory, dickory, dock

If You’re a Pet and You Know It

If you’re a doggie and you know it,

Say, “Woof, woof”.

If you’re a doggie and you know it,

Say, “Woof, woof”.

If you’re a doggie and you know it,

And you really want to show it,

If you’re a doggie and you know it,

Say, “Woof, woof”.

Repeat with kitty/meow, fishy/blub, hamster/run in place, bird/tweet.

--Miss Mollie

Five Little Doggies

Five little doggies in the doggie pet store.

Looking so lonely, they want a child to adore.

When along comes a child with a dollar to pay

She buys a doggie and takes him away.

--Miss Mollie

How Much is that Doggie in the Window?

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggly tail?

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie’s for sale.

--Traditional

We clapped out each syllable in this song.
