5. Love Songs for Little Ones
This is an episode with love songs for our little ones. We include one folk song, one Clap for Classics! original song, and the beautiful Waltz from Tchaikovsky's ballet, Sleeping Beauty.
Love Somebody
This is an Appalachian folk song, originally a fiddle tune.
Love somebody yes I do,
Love somebody yes I do,
Love somebody yes I do,
Love somebody but I won’t say who.
Love my mommy yes I do,
Love my mommy yes I do,
Love my mommy yes I do,
Love my mommy and she loves me too!
The Sleeping Beauty, Op. 66- Valse Allegro, Tchaikovsky.

Will you waltz with me,
Will you be my partner please?
If you will, I’ll spin you around And round,
then give you a squeeze
Pretty please will you waltz with me
Will you be my partner please?
Waltzing is my favorite thing in the world!

Let’s sing a song about hugs!
Chorus:
Some are tight
And some are gentle
Some are short
And some are long and sentimental
A hug can help you feel okay
If you get a little boo boo
Or you’re having a rough tough day
Try and hug it all away
Chorus
A hug can help you share some love
With a very special grownup
Taking care of you
So hug ‘em all day through
Chorus
A hug can help you cheer a friend
When she seems a little sad
You can bend her frown back to a smile
Just hug her for a while
Chorus
A hug can help you feel so great
But sometimes we just need some personal space
(And that’s ok, too!)
