Variations on a Theme

I don't have the time to post today, really, so I thought I'd give you a cut and paste from my files...

We've been talking a lot about variations: whether its the words or music that change; the language or the activity that accompanies it - there are SO many variations on just as many themes. Here is a simple example for your own files:

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Have you any wool?

Yes Sir, yes Sir

Three bags full

One for my master

And one for my dame

One for the little boy

Who lives down the lane

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Have you any wool?

Yes Sir, yes Sir

Three bags full

One for my sweater

And one for my rug

One for my blankie

That keeps me warm and snug.

Cluck Cluck Red Hen

Have you any eggs?

Yes Sir, Yes Sir

As many as your legs.

One for your breakfast,

And one for your lunch.

Come back tomorrow

And we’ll have another bunch.

Moo Moo White Cow

Have you milk for me?

Yes Sir, Yes Sir

Its plentiful, you see.

Churn it into butter

Or whip it into cream,

Drink it just as milk

Or you can freeze it for ice cream.

Buzz Buzz Yellow Bee

Do you have honey?

Yes Sir, Yes Sir

We’ve made it here you see.

We gather up the pollen

And put it in the nest.

From there we get the honey that

You like to eat the best.

Nay, Nay

Brown Horse

Shall we take a ride?

Yes Sir, Yes Sir

Its beautiful outside.

I like to go where you go,

I’ll go where e’r I am led.

I’ll run you down the country road

Then home in time for bed.
