Ring Around the Rosie

Ring-around the Rosie,

A pocket full of posies,

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down.


2nd verse:

The cows are in the meadow

Eating all the grass.

Ashes, ashes,

Who's up last?


Goodbye Song

Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.

Reach your hands up high. Bring them way down low.

To the side, to the side. To the side, to the side.

To the front, to the back. To the front, to the back.

On top of your head, and now in your lap.

Cuz now it's time to go.

Goodbye everyone. Goodbye everyone. Goodbye everyone.

Thank you for making music.
