Songs at Baan Dek

Podcasts

We sing a lot of songs at Baan Dek. Some are seasonal or weather-related, others are fun to sing year-round. We put together a few of our favorites in a recording to share with you. We’ve included a track list with lyrics. Enjoy!

At the Beginning

At the beginning is a good place to be
What will each day bring for you and me?
New life, new friends, new things to do
At the beginning is a good place to be.

Wibbly Wobbly

Wibbly wobbly warah
An elephant sat on Sarah
Wibbly wobbly wane
An elephant sat on Jane
Wibbly wobbly woey
An elephant sat on Joe
Wibbly wobbly wexter
An elephant sat on Dexter

Halloween Song

Full moon overhead, pumpkins lying on the vine
Leaves turing crimson red, grapes crushed into wine
Halloween time tonight! Spirits everywhere.
Take a walk at midnight, shadows give you a scare.

5 Brown Buns

There were 5 brown buns in the bakery shop,
You know, those big brown buns with the sugar on the top.
Along came a man with a penny in his hand,
Took one bun and away he ran.

There were 4 brown buns…
There were 3 brown buns…
There were 2 brown buns…
There was 1 brown bun…

Choo-Choo

Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo
Up and down the track
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo
Then we come right back.

First we’ll go to Sarah’s house, then we’ll go to Kaylee’s house,
Then we’ll go to Charlotte’s house, then we’ll come right back.

Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo
Up and down the track
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo-choo
Then we come right back.

10 Horses

10 horses came galloping into town
5 were black and 5 were brown.
They galloped up, they galloped down
And then they galloped out of town.

8 horses came galloping into town…
6 horses came galloping into town…
4 horses came galloping into town…
2 horses came galloping into town…
No horses came galloping into town
None were black and none were brown,
None galloped up, none galloped down
and none galloped out of town.

Spring is Here

“Spring is here!” said the Bumblebee
“How do you know?” said the Old Oaktree
“I just saw a daffodil dancing like a fairy on a windy hill.”

Little Boxes

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside and they all look just the same.
There’s a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one,
and they’re all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.

Baby Beluga

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea swims so wild and he swims so free.
Heaven above and the sea below and a little white whale on the go.

Baby Beluga! Baby Beluga!
Is your Mama home? Are you all alone? I’d like to see you.

Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea swims so wild and he swims so free.
Heaven above and the sea below and a little white whale on the go.

Birthday Songs
The Earth goes round the Sun
The Earth goes round the Sun
It takes 12 months for the Earth
To go around the Sun.

May your grey skies be mostly blue.
May you do the things you want to do.
May your fantasies come true.
Happy Birthday to you!
