Early in the morning.

Wind does blow, wind does blow.

Early in the morning.

This is the way the rain comes down,(Flutter fingers down)
Rain comes down, rain comes down.

Early in the morning.

Sun shines bright, sun shines bright.
This is the way the sun shines bright,
Early in the morning.

This is the way the flowers grow,(Stand fingers up from fists)
Flowers grow, flowers grow.
This is the way the flowers grow,
Early in the morning. 

Rhyme:

I’m a seed that’s in the ground
I get sunshine and water
I grow a stem, two leaves and then
Pop! I’m a flower!

Out in the pasture, they’ll eat grass and hay.
The cows will moo softly, the horses will neigh.
