The Most Popular Kids Song Lyrics

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Is there a country where children don’t sing this tune? No doubt the most popular children’s song around the world.

1. Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

2. When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

3. Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

4. In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
‘Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

5. As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

6. Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

7. Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.

Oh, do you know the muffin man,

Oh, do you know the muffin man,

Recorded on 1939 for first time, today is one of the most frequently covered songs, with different versions by more than 300 artists. Children also love it as a tender lullaby!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

1. The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

2. I’ll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

Please don’t take my sunshine away

Amazing Grace

This christian hymn became even more popular during the COVID pandemic, after Andrea Bocelli performed it in front of the Duomo Cathedral in Milan.

1. Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind, but now I see.

2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

I’m A Little Teapot

I'm A Little Teapot

The song has been written almost a century ago from a couple of dance teachers. The dance moves for the song are a pantomime of a teapot’s figure.

1. I’m a little teapot
short and stout.
Here is my handle;
Here is my spout.

When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout,
Tip me over
and pour me out!

2. I’m a special teapot,
Yes, it’s true,
Here’s an example
of what I can do:

I can turn my handle
into a spout.
Tip me over
and pour me out!

all she wanted was to dance,
she doesn’t mind that

and they hunt her through the back door
so she goes after the music
and she’s dancing on the dance floor.

all she wanted was to dance,
she doesn’t mind that

there are better things to ask for.
Now the music seems to charm her
as she’s dancing on the dance floor.

she doesn’t bother
if legs are missing,
she would never miss the chance.

Itsy-Bitsy Spider

Itsy-Bitsy Spider

A spider that tries to climb up the waterspout but she faces many troubles on her way. A singing-game with gestures that mimic the words of the song.

1. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

2. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the big tall tree
Down came the snow and made the spider freeze
Out came the sun and melted all the snow
So the itsy-bitsy spider had another go

3. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed in the bubble bath
Then came rubber duckie and made the spider laugh
Down came the water and washed him down the drain
So the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

4. The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up without a stop
She spun a silky web right at the very top
She wove and she spun and when her web was done
The itsy-bitsy spider she rested in the sun

It followed her to school one day,
That was against the rule.

Laugh and play, laugh and play,
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.

5. And so the teacher turned it out,
Turned it out, turned it out,
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near.

6. And waited patiently about,
Patiently about, patiently about,
And waited patiently about,
Till Mary did appear.

7. “Why does the lamb love Mary so?
Mary so? Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so?”
The eager children cry.

The lamb, you know, the lamb, you know!
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know.”
The teacher did reply.
