Rubber Duckie

Rubber duckie you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber duckie I'm awefully fond of you
Scoo-doo-be-doo
Every day when I make my way to my tubby
I find a fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby
Rubber-dub-duckie
Rubber duckie you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber duckie I'm awefully fond of you
Too, scoo-doo-be-doo!

Wash Your Hands

(sung to:Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Wash, wash, wash your hands
Wash them day and night
Soap and water does the trick
It keeps them clean and bright

Brush, brush, brush your teeth
Use some toothpaste too
Brush up and down and all around
And eat what's good for you!
