My Boyfriend's Name is Lucky


My boyfriend’s name is Lucky.
He comes from old Kentucky.
With a pickle on his nose and a cherry on his toes,
And that’s the way my story goes.

My mother gave him peaches.
My sister gave him pears.
My father gave him fifteen cents
And kicked him down the stairs.

Partner handclap game.   R, clap, L, clap, both, clap, lap, clap

The Addams Family


Da da da dump (snap) (snap).
Da da da dump (snap) (snap).
Da da da dump,  da da da dump,  da da da dump  (snap) (snap).

They're creepy and they're kooky.
Mysterious and spooky.
They're all together ooky.
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite)
So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're going to pay a call on
The Addams Family.

Da da da dump (snap) (snap).
Da da da dump,  da da da dump,  da da da dump  (snap) (snap).

Queen Queen Caroline

Hands on your lap, lap, lap, clap! Lap, lap, lap, clap! (continue)

Queen Queen Caroline
  Washed her hair in turpentine.
Turpentine made it shine.
  Queen Queen Caroline.

(change clapping pattern and start again.)
