Flannel Board: E-I-E-I-O
(sung to Old McDonald)
Chickens lay eggs,
This we know,
E-I-E-I-O
And from those eggs
Chickens grow
E-I-E-I-O
There's a chicken egg here
And a chicken egg there.
Here an egg, there an egg
Everywhere a chicken egg.
Chickens lay eggs,
This we know,
E-I-E-I-O!

Stand-up Song: There's an Elf on the Floor
There's an elf on the floor, on the floor
There's an elf on the floor, on the floor.
Who could ask for any more
Than an elf on the floor?
There's an elf on the floor, on the floor.
*Leg...he isn't very big
*Tummy...he really is funny
*Arm...he doesn't mean any harm
*Face...Oh, what a big disgrace!
*Head...Did you hear what I just said?
*Floor...who could ask for any more?
