I sometimes feel like we sing the same songs over and over, but I forget about classic songs when you get in the rut of singing “old mac Donald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O!” Here is a fun song to print out and memorized the lyrics to for a fun sing-a-long on the way to school or back home from school to put a smile on your child’s face!

The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The farmer in the dell

And the farmer takes a wife
The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho, the derry-o

And the wife takes the child
The wife takes the child
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The wife takes the child

And the child takes the nurse

Hi-ho, the derry-o
The child takes the nurse

And the nurse takes the dog

The cat takes the mouse
Hi-ho, the derry-o

The mouse takes the cheese
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The mouse takes the cheese

And the cheese stands alone
The cheese stands alone
Hi-ho, the derry-o
The cheese stands alone
