DID YOU EVER SEE A FISHY?
(Tune: "Did You Ever See A Lassie?")
Did you ever see a fishy,
A fishy, a fishy?
Did you ever see a fishy
Swim this way and that?
Swim this way and that way
And that way and this way?
Did you ever see a fishy
Swim this way and that?
* Repeat the song replacing "swim" with other verbs such as: slide, swish, splash.

FIVE LITTLE FISHES
Five little fishes swimming in a pool. (wiggle five fingers, move arm)
The first fish said, "This pool is cool!" (Shiver & hug yourself)
The second fish said, "This pool is deep." (Use a low voice)
The third fish said, "I want to sleep." (Yawn & stretch)
The fourth fish said, "I spy a ship." (hand shadowing eyes)
Fishing boat comes, line goes kerspash! (throw in line)
Away the five little fishies dash! (fingers "swim" away quickly)

A SAILOR WENT TO SEA
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea. To see what he could see, see, see. But all that he could see, see, see. Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea. (Whenenver we sing "sea or see" we bring our hand to our forefead like a salute. We sing it three times, each time a little bit faster. On the 4th time, we sing all of the words except for "sea or see". When we get to these words we zip our lips but still do the salute.
