Five Empanadas
Five empanadas sizzling in a pan
(hold up five fingers)
One went POP! (clap!)
and then it went BAM! (slap knees!)
Four empanadas sizzling in a pan
(hold up four fingers)
One went POP! (clap!)
and then it went BAM! (slap knees!)
Three empanadas sizzling in a pan…
Two empanadas sizzling in a pan…
One empanada sizzling in a pan
Now there are no empanadas in the pan.
Happy Little Vegemites (From Australia)
We’re happy little Vegemites,
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our mummies say we’re growing stronger
Every single week.
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek.
Mama Paquita (Brazil Carnival Song)
Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita,
Mama Paquita, buy your baby a papaya
A ripe papaya and a banana,
A ripe papaya that your baby will enjoy,
ma-ma-ma-ma,
Mama Paquita, Mama Paquita,
Mama Paquita says, “I haven’t any money
To buy papayas and ripe bananas,
Let’s go to Carnival and dance the night away!”
Maki Sushi! (巻 Maki, meaning “roll”)
(To the tune of “Peanut, Peanut Butter”)
Maki, maki sushi! (With soy sauce)
Maki, maki sushi! (With soy sauce)
First you take the rice and you spread it,
you spread it.
Next you take the fish and you lay it, you lay it.
Then you take the seaweed and you roll it,
you roll it.
Then you take the maki and you cut it, you cut it.
Then you take the sushi and you dip it, in soy sauce!
Then you take the sushi and to eat it, you eat it!
(Hum the tune while pretending to chew)
