Shall we wake them with a merry tune.

Sha la la la la la la, ridding on my pony
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop,
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop.
Sha la la la la la, I love my little pony
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop. I lay her gently in her bed at night
And I comb her hair in the morning sunlight

Sha la la la la la I love my little pony
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop,
Clip clop clip clop, clip clop clippety-clop.

Stick Song

Picture
Put a stick in this hand 
And put a stick in that,
Hold them bough together 
And tap, tap, tap,
Tap them to the ceiling 
Then tap them to the floor
Tap them right in front of you 
And put them on the floor
