O’S IN THE
OCEAN
Tune: “My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean”
I like to fish in the ocean.
I like to fish in the sea.
But when I fish in the ocean,
I only catch O’s, you see.
Oysters, octopus, overalls in the sea.
Olives, onions, and oars are all that I see.

OFFICER BEAR Officer, Officer, Officer Bear
Protecting others everywhere.
He starts each day, at the Owl Café,
Eating omelets and oranges, they say.
Then he looks for objects out in the street
And anything odd while on his beat.
And when he goes home, he wears overalls,
Listens to opera and police calls.Sometimes he bakes in his oven
at night,
Orange oval cookies, he loves to bite.
Officer, Officer, Officer Bear
Protecting others everywhere.

I LOVE YOU
Rhyme: “Down In The Meadow”
Out in the ocean or at the zoo
Lives a little baby octopus and his mother, too.
“Goo,” says the mother, “I love you”.
“Goo,” says the baby, “I love you, too!”
Out on the plains or at the zoo
Lives a little baby ostrich and her mother, too.
“Coo,” says the mother, “I love you.”
“Coo,” says the baby, “I love you, too!”
Out in the woods or at the zoo
Lives a little baby owl and his mother, too.
“Who,” says the mother, “I love you.”
“Who,” says the baby, “I love you, too!”
