Tee Bird In The Happiness Tree
There’s a sunshine bird a whistling
High up in the happiness tree
And when you’re sad
Just listen to the glad
Tweedle dum, tweedle dum, tweedle dee

You're A Frog
You’re a frog
You’re a frog
You’re a frog
Up on the log

You croak, croak, croak
And that’s no joke
You’re a F-R-O-G, frog!

We Are The Witches Three
We are witches
Quite contrary
We are merry, scary vary
Playing pranks
Extraordinary
Of us you had best
Be vary

You'll a waken
Shaking, quaking
With the mischief that we're making
Merry, scary vary whee!
We are the witches three
