Song: If You’re Happy and You Know It... 

If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it read a book (read a book) 

 

If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 
If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it turn the page (turn the page) 

 

If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray) 
If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray) 
If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it 
If you’re happy and you know it whisper “hurray!” (hurray)

Action Rhyme: Dinosaur, Dinosaur 

(Stand up everybody!) 

Dinosaur, dinosaur, turn around. 
Dinosaur, dinosaur, stomp the ground.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, sit back down.

Rhyme: Five Funny Dinosaurs 

Five funny dinosaurs letting out a roar. 
One went away, and then there were four. 
Four funny dinosaurs munching on a tree. 
One went away, and then there were three. 
Three funny dinosaurs didn’t know what to do. 
One went away, and then there were two. 
Two funny dinosaurs having lots of fun. 
One went away, and then there was one. 
One funny dinosaur afraid to be a hero. 
He went away, and then there was zero. 

 

Closing Song: We Wave Goodbye Like This (Tune: Farmer in the Dell) 

 
We wave goodbye like this. 
We wave goodbye like this. 
We clap our hands for all our friends. 
We wave goodbye like this.
