I love my cello I play it all day

Lightly row, lightly row, up the river we will go!

Always rowing, never slowing in my bright new red canoe.

See the fishes swimming by, see the birds up in the sky!

Always rowing, never slowing in my bright new red canoe.

Once I saw a crocodile who snapped at all he saw, snapped at all he saw!

Then he snapped a rock and got a toothache in his jaw, jaw, jaw!

Then he snapped a rock and got a toothache in his jaw.

Go tell Aunt Rhody, John is sick in bed!  Go call the doctor: John is sick in bed!

He had some popcorn and some chocolate bars and peanut butter on his bread.

Go tell Aunt Rhody, John is sick in bed!  Go call the doctor: John is sick in bed!

O come little children, o come one and all

All join hands together, both big ones and small 

for peace in our lifetime, we offer this plea

for people together, for you and for me t.

Up down on the d-string, and then on the A

Birds are singing, winter is gone!  Fish are in the river.

Up above the clouds sail right by, like big banks of snow in the sky.

Birds are singing, winter is gone!  Fish are in the river.

Head, head, ears, ears, shoulders, shoulders, nose, nose, waist, waist, knees, knees, ankles ankles toes!  (x2)

Hands and fingers, two elbows a mouth that smiles (and) hair that grows!

Head, head, ears, ears, shoulders, shoulders, nose, nose, waist, waist, knees, knees, ankles ankles toes!

Long, Long Ago on a bright sunny day, I saw a frog, on top a log.

Long, Long Ago on a bright sunny day, I saw a frog on a log.

He jumped so high that I thought he could fly  (x2)

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day

The three bears’ cabin stood, at the edge of the wood. 

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day 

The three bears went away for a walk 

First the big Papa bear, then the kind Mama bear 

Then behind, with his chair, came the small Baby bear 

In the woods, far away, on a hot summer’s day 

The three bears went away for a walk.

Suzuki is the right method to take: on our small instruments, music we make. 

Suzuki is the right method to take; after we finish this, take a small break. 

Make sure that you listen each day. This will really help you to play...

Henrietta Poppeletta had a special friend to play named

Willamina Window-Cleaner, and she brought along her football 

Henrietta Poppeletta picked it up and threw it back to

Willamina Window-Cleaner, and it smashed right through a window 

Father came right down the stairs and called to mother 

Mother came right down the stairs and looked at Henrietta Poppeletta and then picked her up and bawled her out and sent her off to bed. 

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,  

We feed the chickens, cows and pigs the whole day long.  

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go, 

we feed the chickens, cows and pigs the whole day long.

When we are finished, then we get to play. 

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go,  

We feed the chickens, cows and pigs, this ends our song.

I can play this long gavotte the whole way through. 

I can play this long gavotte as well as you. 

I can play this long gavotte just like you too. 

Doctor Suzuki would like that too. 

Can you play the second section just as well? 

I can play the second section, can't you tell? 

I can play the second section quite as well. 

Let's all play the second section, ding dong bell. 

Let us take it all in turns to play. 

I'll play first, then fingers very quickly down the scale come jumping.

I'll play it next and now altogether, 

teeter, totter, then running up and down. 

I'm playing very fast and jump about. 

I'm playing very fast and I'm not out. 

I'm playing very fast, and I'm playing at the last, 

so let's play it altogether, roundabout.
