Forest Sing Along Variation (Easier)

"Wheels on the Bus" Variation

Deep in the forest, near a spot of sun
spot of sun, spot of sun
Deep in the forest, near a spot of sun
Lived a warty mother toad and her little toadie one

Deep in the forest, where the stream runs through
stream runs through, stream runs through
Deep in the forest, where the stream runs through
Lived a shiny mother fish and her little fishes two

Deep in the forest, in a hole in a tree
hole in a tree, hole in a tree
Deep in the forest, in a hole in a tree
Lived a chatty mother wren and her little birdies three

Deep in the forest, by the bayou shore
bayou shore, bayou shore
Deep in the forest, by the bayou shore
Lived an old mother muskrat, and her little ratties four

Deep in the forest, in a snug beehive
snug beehive, snug beehive
Deep in the forest, in a snug beehive
Lived a mother honey bee and her little bees five

Deep in the forest, in a nest of sticks
nest of sticks, nest of sticks
Deep in the forest, in a nest of sticks
Lived a black mother crow and her little crows six

Deep in the forest, in the leaves soft and even
leaves soft and even, leaves soft and even
Deep in the forest, in the leaves soft and even
Lived a cheery mother cricket and her little crickets seven

Deep in the forest, by a mossy gate
mossy gate, mossy gate
Deep in the forest, by a mossy gate
Lived a brown mother lizard and her little lizards eight

Deep in the forest, where the quiet pools shine
quiet pools shine, quiet pools shine
Deep in the forest, where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog and her little froggies nine

Deep in the forest, in a sly little den
sly little den, sly little den
Deep in the forest, in a sly little den
Lived a gray mother spider and her little spiders ten

Forest Sing Along

Deep in the forest,
Near a spot of sun
Lived an old mother toadie
And her little toadie one
"Wink!" said the mother;
"I wink!" said the one,
So they winked and they blinked
Near a spot of sun

Deep in the forest,
Where the stream runs through
Lived an old mother fish
And her little fishes two
"Swim!" said the mother;
"We swim!" said the two,
So they swam and they leaped
Where the stream runs through

Deep in the forest,
In a hole in a tree
Lived an old mother wren
And her little birdies three
"Sing!" said the mother;
"We sing!" said the three
So they sang and were glad
In a hole in the tree

Deep in the forest,
By the bayou’s shore
Lived an old mother muskrat
And her little ratties four
"Dive!" said the mother;
"We dive!" said the four
So they dived and they burrowed
By the bayou’s shore

Deep in the forest,
In a snug beehive
Lived a mother honey bee
And her little bees five
"Buzz!" said the mother;
"We buzz!" said the five
So they buzzed and they hummed
In the snug beehive

Deep in the forest,
In a nest built of sticks
Lived a black mother crow
And her little crows six
"Caw!" said the mother;
"We caw!" said the six
So they cawed and they called
In their nest built of sticks

Deep in the forest,
In the leaves soft and even
Lived a cheery mother cricket
And her little crickets seven
"Chirp!" said the mother;
"We chirp!" said the seven
So they chirped cheery notes
In the leaves soft and even

Deep in the forest,
By the old mossy gate
Lived a brown mother lizard
And her little lizards eight
"Bask!" said the mother;
"We bask!" said the eight
So they basked in the sun
On the old mossy gate

Deep in the forest,
Where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog
And her little froggies nine
"Hop!" said the mother;
"We hop!" said the nine
So they hopped and they splashed
Where the quiet pools shine

Deep in the forest,
In a sly little den
Lived a gray mother spider
And her little spiders ten
"Spin!" said the mother;
"We spin!" said the ten
So they spun lacy webs
In their sly little den
