He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He ruled the others with his quack, quack, quack

Felt Rhyme: Ice Cream Colors
We have ice cream, the best in town
Let us begin with chocolate brown

Now, let us scoop us some bubble-gum pink
It is sweet and yummy, the best, some think

Here is ice cream minty and green
It is the creamiest I have ever seen

Yellow ice cream is lemony and tart
We like its taste from the very start

Scoops of blue moon would make my day
Look at all this ice cream, hip, hip hurray!

Red ice cream is a strawberry delight
All these scoops are a wonderful sight

Vanilla white is a popular flavor
It tastes very good to an ice-cream craver

Purple ice cream really gives me a kick
Good and yummy till the very last lick

Ice cream, ice cream, what a cool sensation
We love ice cream in any combination!

Puppet Song: Five Hungry Inchworms
Five hungry inchworms inching in a line,

Ah ah ah ah CHOOOO

He reaches up high with his long, long neck
With a nibble, nibble, nibble
And a crunch, crunch, crunch

All done for now, but soon he’ll start to eat again

All done for now, but soon he’ll start again
