Below are some of my favorite words to some of the pieces in the early part of Book 1. There are many out there. Let me know if you have a favorite that I do not have. I will be glad to add it to the list. Have fun singing them with your children.
Lightly Row
Lightly Row Quick and slow Down the river we will go. Mississippi, Mississippi, That's the way to go, go, go. On our violins we play, 1,2,3,4,5 hurray Mississippi, Mississippi, That's the way to go, go, go. |
Song of the Wind
All the little fishies wiggle Wiggle with their fins. Wiggle with their fins. All Suzuki children play and play and play their violins All Suzuki children play and play and their violins. |
Go Tell Aunt Rhody
I love you Rhody, love you, yes I do I love you Rhody Because you're so sweet. Rhody she has a purple violin Rhody she has a violin. I love you Rhody, love you, yes I do I love you Rhody Because you're so smart. |
O Come Little Children
O come little children, Oh come one and all Oh come to the manger In Bethlehem's stall And see the Lord Jesus Asleep in the hay The little Lord Jesus was born Christmas day. |
May Song
I'm so happy now that it's May Birds are singing all day Flowers blooming springtime is here Flowers blooming springtime is here I'm so happy now that it's May Birds are singing all day. |
Long, Long Ago
Where are the shoes that to me were so dear Long, long ago Long, long ago Where are the shoes that to me were so dear Mom threw them out long ago. Scroungy old sneakers all grubby and torn Best looking sneakers that ever were worn Where are the shoes that to me were so dear Mom threw them out long ago. |
Allegro
Wake up, shake up, put on your pajamas Eat your breakfast, time to go to school. Wake up, shake up, put on your pajamas Eat your breakfast, time to go to school. I don't want to, I'm too tired I just want to stay in bed..... Wake up, shake up, put on your pajamas Eat your breakfast, time to go to school. |
Perpetual Motion
Practice, practice, practice, practice Every day we have to practice. Practice, practice, practice, practice Every day we have to practice. If it's cloudy, if it's rainy We don't ever get complainy Even when the sun is shining, You won't ever hear us whining. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Practice, practice, practice, practice Every day we get to practice. Practice, practice, practice, practice Every day we LOVE to practice. |
Allegretto
In a place far away On a hot summer day, The three bears cottage stood At the edge of the wood. In a place far away On a hot summer day The three bears went away For a walk. First the big Papa Bear, Then the kind Mama Bear, Far away with his chair Came the small Baby Bear. In a place far away On a hot summer day, The three bears went away For a walk. |
