Songs & Poems
Gg
(to the tune Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay)
Gert's grandpa Gregory
grew whiskers past his knee
They grew around and round
They grew down to the ground.
Good golly Gert declared
Gramps got a goofy beard
So grandma Gwendolyn
shaved Grandpa's chin.
If You're Happy
and You Know It
If you're happy and you know it,
Gallop like a horse “g” “g”
If you're happy and you know it,
Gallop like a horse “g” “g”
If you're happy and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it,
Gallop like a horse “g” “g”.
