Song: “Bumblebee, Bumblebee” (Tune: “Jingle Bells”)
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Landing on my nose,
Bumblebee, bumblebee,
Now he’s on my toes.
On my arms, on my legs, on my elbows,
Bumblebee, oh bumblebee,
He lands and then he goes.

Flannel: “Grasshopper Chant”
One little, two little, three little grasshoppers,
Four little, five little, six little grasshoppers,
Seven little, eight little, nine little grasshoppers,
Ten grasshoppers in my yard.
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me (slap thighs to rhythm)
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me,
Grasshoppers, grasshoppers, hopping all around me,
Ten grasshoppers in my yard.
Ten little, nine little, eight little grasshoppers,
Seven little, six little, five little grasshoppers,
Four little, three little, two little grasshoppers,
One grasshopper in my yard.
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
Grasshopper, grasshopper, hopping all around me,
One grasshopper in my yard.

Song: “Ain’t No Bugs on Me”
Chorus:
There ain’t no bugs on me,
There ain’t no bugs on me.
There may be bugs on some of you mugs,
But there ain’t no bugs on me.
Verse:
Juney Bug comes in the month of June, Lightning Bug in May,
Bed Bug comes at any ol’ time, but he ain’t gonna stay.
Squito he flies high, squito he flies low,
If old mosquito lands on me he ain’t gonna fly no more.

Song: “On My Toe There Is a Flea”
On my toe there is a flea,
Now he’s climbing up on me,
Past my stomach, past my nose,
On my head where my hair grows.
On my head there is a flea,
Now he’s climbing down on me,
Past my stomach, past my knee,
On my toe,
Take THAT, you flea!
