Ten Lovely Princesses
Ten lovely princesses out for a good time
One left to change her dress, and then there were nine.
Nine lovely princesses waiting by the gate
One left to stroll the garden, then there were eight.
Eight lovely princesses, all in love with Kevin
One met him at the fair, and then there were seven.
Seven lovely princesses with hairdos to fix
One shopped for a hat instead, then there were six.
Six lovely princesses in a cart arrive
One headed to the ballroom, then there were five.
Five lovely princesses by the palace door
One went to the banquet hall, then there were four.
Four lovely princesses sitting by a tree
One climbed up a branch to sit, then there were three.
Three lovely princesses enjoying the view
One stopped to paint the scene, then there were two.
Two lovely princesses having so much fun
One had to meet the queen, then there was one.
One lovely princess saw the setting sun
She went home to get some sleep, then there were none.
PRINCESS POLLY’S PONY
(tune: “Yankee Doodle”)
Princess Polly rides her pony (pretend to ride a pony in circles)
All around the palace
Giving rides to all her friends
And to her sister Alice.
Princess Polly, have some fun (clap to the beat of the tune)
Riding with your pony
He’s your best friend and with him
You never will be lonely.
Princess Polly rides her pony (pretend to pick flowers)
Through the royal garden
Picking flowers for the queen
To give her in the mornin’.
Princess Polly, have some fun (clap to the beat of the tune)
Riding with your pony
He’s your best friend and with him
You never will be lonely.
Princess Polly brings her pony (pretend to brush a pony)
To the royal stable
Brushes him and grooms his coat
Of fine and glossy sable.
Princess Polly, have some fun (clap to the beat of the tune)
Riding with your pony
He’s your best friend and with him
You never will be lonely.
