I was trying to find the lyrics for Frere Jacques and found this site that pairs lyrics with midi files. Granted, some of the midi files are a bit off, but it's fun to share with the kids some of the songs we learned as kids. I was surprised by how many songs I didn't know! Some of the songs have links to learning sites themed according to the song.
Check it out. If for no other reason than to listen to Why Does the Sun Shine, a very cool 1950's teaching song that I first heard recorded by They Might Be Giants, about...well, about why the sun shines. ;-)
Be sure to check out the, ahem, wonderful lyrics to The Big Rock Candy Mountain and the complete lyrics to You Are My Sunshine. I knew the second verse to You Are My Sunshine, which always made Sweetheart cry when I sang it, but I didn't know the other verses. I think it's the original stalking song.
