Mr. Oak Tree, (hold your arms above your head and sway)
Mr. Oak Tree,  
Leaves float down, (raise hands over head and flutter down)
To the ground!  
Acorns dropping -- plip, plop! (clap in time to words)
Squirrels a-scamp'ring -- hip, hop! (hop in place)
All around, (move hands in front of you from left to right)
On the ground!

Pumpkin, pumpkin, on the ground (pat ground with your hand)
How’d you get so big and round? (hold arms in a circle)
First you were a seed so small, (show "small" with finger and thumb)
Now you are a great big ball! (hold arms in a circle)
Pumpkin, pumpkin, on the ground, (pat ground with your hand)
How’d you get so big and round? (hold arms in a circle)

Fingerplay: "Five Little Leaves"
 
Five little leaves so bright and gay, (hold up five fingers)
Were dancing about on a tree one day. (dance and turn around)
The wind came blowing through the town, (sway from side to side)
And one little leaf came tumbling down! (sway down to the floor)
   
Four little leaves so bright and gay, (hold up four fingers)
(continue until you finish with "one little leaf")
