I’M A LITTLE YOYO
Tune: “I’m A Little Teapot” I’m a little yoyo

Up and down,
Fast or slow.

I don’t make a sound.
But I can twirl
Around and around.

YANKEE DOODLE
Tune: “Yankee Doodle” Yankee Doodle came to town
A riding on his yacht.
He would wear his yellow slicker
And stroll around a lot.
Yankee Doodle bought some yams
And a yogurt, too.
Then, he bought a yoyo
For a friend like you!
Yankee Doodle liked to yodel,
“Yankee Doodle Do”.
Or you could hear him yodeling,
“Yo-da-lay-he-who”!
