Here we have a little bear, little bear, little bear.
Here we have a little bear, and he likes to play.
Spoken: Time to sleep, bear! Rock, rock, rock him, and tuck him into bed!

Next we have a little dog, little dog, little dog.
Next we have a little dog, and she likes to sleep.

Then we have a little cat, little cat, little cat.
Then we have a little cat who likes to eat a snack.

Last we have a little bunny, little bunny, little bunny.
Last we have a little bunny who likes to give big hugs.

Song: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
