| Growing Plants Lyrics and Music: Benjamin and Freya Goldstein |
| Verse 1: We're working in the garden with old Farmer Brown, Hoeing around, hoeing around, Smoothing out the soil and preparing the ground So the seeds can grow. Verse 2: Lots of little worms are under ground, Wiggling around, tunneling around, Breaking up the clods in the hard, hard ground So the seeds can grow. Verse 3: Now it's time to scatter the seeds, Planting them in rows Pat the soil down over them So they won't blow away if a rough wind blows. Verse 4: The little seeds are lying hard and round, Dry and round, under the ground. Gentle showers of rain come pouring down So the seeds can grow. Verse 5: Each little seeds puts out a shoot, A little green leaf, a tiny white roots They grow and grow and before you know- They're corn and tomatoes, beans and potatoes. Verse 6: Now the sun is shinning, nice and hot. That makes the little plants grow a lot. All this lovely sunshine sure hits the spot- Makes the garden grow. Verse 7: The farmer comes and picks the weeds. They're taking up space the garden needs. The weeds have really got to go If we want to make the garden grow. Verse 8: Now at last its to pick the crops. Put them in the pot, stir it up a lot. Cook it for an hour and make some stew For me and you! |

| The Magic Seed Lyrics and music: Heather Forest |
| Introduction: Big plants grow from tiny seeds, Whether they're trees or flowers or weeds, Or vegetables in a garden row, Little seeds can grow, grow, grow, grow, grow. Spoken: Let's pretend you're a flower seed. First decide what color flower you would be. Then curl up and pretend to plant your- self in the ground. You'd have to wait until there's just enough water in the soil, and it's warm enough, and then... you'd start to grow! Verse: If your wiggling toes were roots in the ground, They'd stretch and spread out all around. If your arm were a little green sprout, It would reach up through the ground and pop out! Then it would reach up tall toward the sky And grow leaves (pretend your hands are leaves) and buds by and by. And then finally, after a while (open your arms wide), You'd blossom into a flower as bright as a smile! 'Cause it's magic, it's a magic seed. It's amazing- it's amazing indeed. Just gilve it the right amount of warmth and water and sun. Before you know it, the growing has begun. Those little seeds you sow Can grow, grow, grow,grow, grow! (It's magic.) |
