My toddler loves when I sing to him at bedtime and especially loves when I sing new songs and not the same ones every day.
The only problem is that I can't think of any more songs to sing!
Can you please help me come up with lullabies kiddie songs or just nice songs?
Preferably jewish songs.
Just to give an example of the kinds of songs I'm thinking of I have been singing the following songs:
Little Torah
The shabbos angels
Twinkle Twinkle little star
Oyfen pripechik
Hamalach hagoel
Ani maamin

I need new songs. What are the typical kiddie songs they sing at playgroups?

If you have links to YouTube videos of the song being sung so I can learn the new songs that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Little little baby from Dina Strotch's Camp Bnos Bamboo Cradle.

I'm not familiar with this and couldn't find anything on google. Do you know where I can listen to it?

I don't think it's recorded.
It's more like a little (broken) English (kinda Chinese sounding) lullabye, based on the (real life) script of the Bamboo Cradle, than a song. My girls adore it. I've been singing it to them since they've been newborns.

Little little baby, pretty pretty bows
Tiny tiny socks on her toesie toesie toes
Soon you'll be a lady, baby don't you cry
Maemae's gonna sing you a lullabye.

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Doctor professor from U.S.
Lovely lady Barbara she's the best
7 years of marriage, still no baby
Mrs. Barbara's a sad sad lady.

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Come to China, come to teach
Bib big college, English speech
Very good neighbors, very good friends
Now there's a baby, help we send.

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Iron the Kimonos, tidy up the house
Shhsh, baby's sleeping quiet as a mouse
Fill up her bottle, warm it to the touch
Ah! baby likes it very very much.

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Tap her on the stomach, pat her on the back
Kiss her on the forehead, sit her on your lap
Now baby's happy, see her shining eyes
Maemae sings the sweetest lullabyes.

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh

Don't walk in front of me I may not follow
Modeh ani lefanecha I'm as thankful as can be
Every morning when I'm through sleeping
We're going to the river won't you come along
On Yom Rishon there was light
Shabbos is coming we're so happy
The shofar in the shul goes toot toot toot

There's some CD 613 Avenue or something. I thnk I found their songs on chabad.org, but you can look on youtube. Or Uncle Moishy.
