Baking Song

(Best of Mailbox Songs, Poems, and Fingerplays)
Tune: “The Mulberry Bush”
What would you like to bake today,
Bake today, bake today?
What would you like to bake today
So early in the morning?
I’d like to bake some bread today,
Bread today, bread today.
I’d like to bake some bread today.
So early in the morning.
Additional verses: repeat last verse substituting cake, pie, muffins, cookies for bread.
Use a flannel board with pictures of the different foods.

Picked A Strawberry

(tune: "Clementine")
Picked a strawberry,
Picked a strawberry
That was growing
In the sun.
Then I washed it,
And I ate it,
And I picked another one.

Arroz Con Leche/Rice Pudding

(Spanish)

Arroz con leche
Me quiero casar
Con una señorita
que sepa bailar.

Que sepa coser
Que sepa planchar
Que sepa abrir la puerta
Para ir a jugar.

(Versión 2)

Arroz con leche
Me quiero casar
Con una viudita
de la capital

Que sepa coser
Que sepa bordar
Que ponga la mesa
En su santo lugar.

Yo soy la viudita
La hija del Rey
Me quiero casar
Y no hallo con quién.Children's Song

(English)

Rice Pudding
I want to get married
To a lady
Who knows how to dance.

Who knows how to sew,
Who knows how to iron,
Who knows how to open the door
To go out to play.

(Version 2)

Rice pudding,
I want to get married
To a little widow
From the capital.

Who knows how to sew,
Who knows how to embroider,
Who puts the table
In its holy place.

I am the widow
The King's daughter,
I want to get married,
And I don't know with who.
