Flying Man Flying Man

Flying-Man, Flying-Man
Flying-man, Flying-man,
Up in the sky,
Where are you going to,
Flying so high?
Over the mountains
And over the sea,
Flying-man, Flying-man,
Can't you take me?

My Bicycle

Have the children lie on their backs with theirlegs up
One wheel, two wheels on the ground;
My feet make the pedals go round and round.
Handle bars help me steer so straight,
Down the sidewalk, through the gate.

I'm A Little Airplane
Sing to : I'm A Little Teapot

I'm a little airplane
I can fly,
Here is my throt-tle;
Give me a try.
When I get all revved up
Then I fly
Off the run-way
To the sky!
