    A  Little Wheel Turning

    (American Folk Song)

    There's a little wheel a-

    turning in my heart,

    There's a little wheel a-

    turning in my heart,

    In my heart —,

    In my heart —, 

    There's a little wheel a-

    turning in my heart!
    Abraham Lincoln

    Abraham Lincoln, kind

    and good, 

    Is honored and loved 

    by many. 

    To help us remember this 

    president, 

    We put his face on 

    the penny.
    traditional
    Oh, My Darling Valentine 

    (To the tune of Clementine)

    February is a short month

    28 days or 29

    In the middle is a love-day,

    Won't you be my Valentine?

    Oh, my darling

    Oh, my darling

    Oh, my darling Valentine.

    In the middle is alove-day,

    Won't you be my Valentine?

    I Love You Little

    I love you little.

    I love you big.

    I love you like

    A little pig.
    traditional
    I Love You, I Love You

    I love you, I love you,

    I love you so well;

    If I had a peanut,

    I'd give you the shell.

    Valentine

    I made a penguin yesterday

    So jolly fat and fine.

    I put a red heart on

    his chest

    And named him Valentine.
    traditional

    Roses are Red

    Roses are red,

    Violets are blue,

    Sugar is sweet,

    And so are you.
    traditional
    To My Valentine

    If apples were pears

    And peaches were plums

    And the rose had a different name,

    If tigers were bears

    And fingers were thumbs, 

    I'd love you just the same!

    Make New Friends

    (American Folk Song)

    Make new friends,

    But keep the old.

    One is silver,

    And the other's gold.

    A circle is round,

    It has no end.

    That's how long

    I want to be your friend!
    I Like Hearts 

    (To the tune of Twinkle Little Star)

    Red Hearts,

    White hearts,

    Pink hearts, too.

    I like purple hearts. 

    How about you?

    Blue hearts,

    Yellow hearts,

    Green hearts, too.

    I like rainbow hearts.

    How about you?

    Valentine Faces 

    This is Valentine happy.

    This is Valentine sad.

    Now you see her sleepy.

    Now you see her mad.

    This is Valentine in 

    pieces small.

    But in my mailbox, she's 

    best of all!
    traditional

    Skin-na-ma-rin-ky din-ky dink,

    Skin-na-ma-rin-ky doo,

    I love you!

    I love you in the morning,

    And in the afternoon.

    I love you in the evening,

    And underneath the moon.

    Skin-na-ma-rin-ky din-ky dink,

    Skin-na-ma-rin-ky doo,

    I love you!

    I Love You Little, I Love You Lots

    I love you little,

    I love you lots,

    My love for you would fill

    10 pots,

    13 kettles,

    14 pans,

    3 teacups,

    and 6 dishpans.

    You Are My Sunshine

    You are my sunshine,

    My only sunshine.

    You make me happy

    When skies are gray.

    You’ll never know dear

    How much I love you.

    Please don’t take

    My sunshine away.
    traditional
    I Love The Mountains 

    I love the mountains

    I love the rolling hills

    I love the fountains

    I love the daffodils

    I love the fireside

    I’m a Little Groundhog 

    (To the tune of Twinkle Little Star)


    I’m a little groundhog

    short and stout,

    February second 

    I come out.

    If I see my shadow,

    they will shout

    Six more weeks of winter—

    no doubt!
