Can’t Sit Still

Waiting in line at the grocery store? or in the Doctor’s waiting room? These are times when a parent’s need to focus and wait really clashes with the child’s need to move. Here is a brand new Sprouting Melodies Sing at Home to help you and your child make it though these tough times. It might just be one of the most fun songs I have ever written!

Enjoy!

Look outside! The wind is blowing

The people are moving and the cars are going

And down in the ground all the flowers are growing

And I can’t sit still.

The wind is blowing, and I can’t sit still

The cars are going, and I can’t sit still

The flowers are growing, and I can’t sit still

No, I can’t sit still

 

Look outside! The bunnies are hopping

The birds are singing and their heads are bopping

And up in the sky the sun is not stopping

And I can’t sit still.

The bunnies are hopping, and I can’t sit still

The birds are bopping, and I can’t sit still

The sun’s not stopping, and I can’t sit still

No, I can’t sit still

 

I can move my body

I can move my feet

I can wiggle, wiggle, wiggle

In my seat

But I can’t sit still

I’m Glad that We’re Together

Music is a great way for people to get together and to be together.  Finding common ground or even a common way to communicate can be a challenge whether you find yourself with little children; or people who don’t speak the same language; or even a family member or colleague with opinions that are very different than yours! Here is a new song adapted from a very old tune that can bring ‘me and you, and you and me’ together.

I’m Glad That We’re Together

Adapted by E.K. Schwartz 2016

I am glad you’ll come

And have some fun

We’ll shake maracas and play the drum

I’m glad that we’re together to make some music today.

There’s me and you. And you and me.

And then there’s you and then there’s me.

I’m glad that we’re together to make some music today.

 

Enjoy the music!
