Spring is Here 
(tune Frere Jaques)

I see robins,

I see bird's nests,

Butterflies too,

flowers too.

Everything is growing,

The wind is gently blowing.

Spring is here, spring is here.

Hibernation Song

(tune Frere Jaques)

Bear is sleeping, the bear is sleeping

In the cave, in the cave.

I wonder when he'll come out, I wonder when he'll come out

In the spring, In the spring.

Birds are flying, birds are flying

In the sky, in the sky.

I wonder when they'll come back, I wonder when they'll come back,

In the spring, in the spring.
