THE STICKS ON THE DRUM
Tune: “Wheels On The Bus”
Oh, the sticks on the drum go up and down.
Up and down, up and down.
Oh, the sticks on the drum go up and down.
All through the town.
Oh, the sticks on the drum go rum, tum, tum.
Rum, tum, tum, rum, tum, tum.
Oh, the sticks on the drum go rum, tum, tum,
All through the town.

YANKEE DOODLE
Tune: “Yankee Doodle”
Yankee Doodle marched to town
Beating on his drum.
With every beat, he moved his feet.
It made the marching f -un.
Yankee Doodle kept it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Mind your music and your beat.
And keep your drum handy!
Jean Warren, Adapted Traditional
(Let your children practice marching to the beat of a drum) |
THIS OLD MAN
Tune: “The Old Man”
This old man, he tapped one
Great big beat on his drum,
With a great big tap, oh what fun!
This old man, he tapped one.
This old man, he tapped two
Great big beats on his shoe.
With a big tap, tap, right on his shoe,
This old man, he tapped two.
This old man, he tapped three
Great big beats on a tree.
With a tap, tap, tap, right on the tree,
This old man, he tapped three.
This old man, he tapped four
Great big beats on the floor.
With a tap, tap, tap, tap right on the floor,
This old man he tapped four.

DUM DITTY
Dum-ditty, dum-ditty, dum, dum, dum.
Can you hear me on my drum.
Dum-ditty, dum-ditty, dum, dum, dum.
Beating my drum is so much fun!
