  Thanks for posting these songs. I’m an early education major at SFASU in Texas and we are required to make song cards to be included in our portfolios. While most of them are required to also have the notes shown, some can have only lyrics.

  Do you have Take Me Out to the Ballgame?

  Since I’m from Texas, I especially enjoyed the link to the Texas site.

  Thanks again, Michele

  Jane, let me see if I can find that one. I had it written down at home, one of several that my sisters and I remembered and wrote out when we were together last Christmas… and then I never got them posted like I had planned. I’ll see if I can find it and get it online. May take me a few days to find, but I’ll do my best.

  I’ve added the “Wink’em Blink’em” that I learned as a kid, which apparently more commonly goes by the name “Winkum Winkum.” The link above has been updated accordingly.

  Thanks for visiting Kid Songs!

  How about the song “Mr. Sun”. It’s a great song and I will try to send all the words to you.

  I’m trying to find all the words to the song “Madalina Catalina”. I’m not really sure if that is the title, but the song goes something like;
  “Madalina Catalina Oopenstien, Openstien, Oaka, Polka, Mocha was her name. She had two hairs in the middle of her head, one was black and the other one was red. She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth one pointed north and the other pointed south. Oh Madalina Catalina Oopenstein, Operstein, Oaka, Polka, Mocha was her name!

    I found this off a camp resource page:

    Catalina Matalina
    There was a funny girl, she had a funny name
    She got it from her pappy just the same, same, same.

    CHORUS:
    Catalina Madalina, Hoopin Stina, Walla dina
    Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name.

    She had two hairs on the top of her head
    One was alive and the other was dead.

    CHORUS

    She had two eyes in the front of her head
    One was green and the other was red.

    CHORUS

    She had two teeth in the front of her mouth
    One pointed north and the other pointed south.

    CHORUS

    Her nose was so long that when she sneezed
    It got caught in between her knees.

    CHORUS

    Her ears stuck out like the sails of a boat
    Her Adam’s apple wandered up and down her throat.

    CHORUS

    She loved to polish her fingernails
    She bought her polish in ten gallon pails.

    CHORUS

    The language that she spoke was an awful joke
    Her head was made out of solid oak

    CHORUS

    Her feet were flat as bathroom mats
    I forgot to ask how they got like that.

    CHORUS

    A ten ton truck hit our Madalina…
    That was the end of that machine-a…

    CHORUS

  I was led to this sight by searching “wink em blink em” but the song you have listed is not the one I am looking for. my grandfather used to sing me a song I only knew as “wink em, blink em, and nod” but I only remember bits and pieces of the words. no matter where I look I cannot find the complete lyrics! if you find and add this song PLEASE email me!

    is it maybe called Winkin Blinkin and Nod?

    Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod, one night sailed off in a wooden shoe;
    Sailed off on a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.
    “Where are you going and what do you wish?” the old moon asked the three.
    “We’ve come to fish for the herring fish that live in this beautiful sea.
    Nets of silver and gold have we,” said Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod.

    The old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in the wooden shoe.
    And the wind that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.
    Now the little stars are the herring fish that live in that beautiful sea;
    “Cast your nets wherever you wish never afraid are we!”
    So cried the stars to the fishermen three – Winkin’, and Blinkin’, and Nod.

    So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinkling foam.
    ‘Til down from the skies came the wooden shoe bringing the fisherman home.
    ‘Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be.
    Some folks say ’twas a dream they dreamed of sailing that misty sea.
    But I shall name you the fisherman three – Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod.

    Now Winkin’ and Blinkin’ are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.
    And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one’s trundle bed.
    So close your eyes while mother sings of the wonderful sights that be.
    And you shall see those beautiful things as you sail on the misty sea,
    Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three – Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Nod.

  I am looking for the name of a children’s song. The lyrics are:

  I like to ride on my bike, it makes me feel so free.
  I follow the traffic rules and my father is proud of me.
  My arm goes up when I turn to the right, it goes straight down when I stop.
  I walk my bike across the busy street, exactly like my pop when he was my age………

  It was on a children’s record when I was a child. Who sang it? The record also had a song about pixies. Singer was female.

    I don’t have any of the information for you. I was just singing this song to myself this afternoon and decided to Google it, thus finding your question. You actually remember more of the words than I do, but then I’m 58 and I think I must have last sung it in school at age 8.

    Somebody out there has to know the details and have the full lyrics. We can’t lose pop culture that fast!

      hmm, I’m pretty sure it’s “follow the traffic light”, which rhymes better with bike.

      It also had “I have a pony named Tony, he lives on the merrygo round…” and Dr. Sniffle swiper

      I got it! I just looked for Dr Sniffle swiper, the singer is Dora Hall, there are a bunch of videos of the songs on YouTube, they’re off Imagine That! I can’t find the lyrics,but it looks like YouTube has all the songs

      I’m only 28, but we listened to this album all the time driving from Alberta to visit relatives in B.C.

    Linda Lundstrom the Fashion Designer? Anywho, I have been looking for the very same song for quite some time. I remember playing a 45 of this song on my parents record player. I don’t recall the b side or the artist. Have you been able to find anything since your posting?
