The Five Senses Song 

Original Author: Unknown

Sung to: “Old Mac Donald Had a Farm”

On my face I have two eyes;
Use them every day.
They are used to help me see
When I work and play.
With a look, look here,
And a look, look there,
Here a look, there a look,
Everywhere a look, look.
On my face I have two eyes;
Use them every day!

On my face I have a nose;
Use it all the time.
When I sniff it I can tell
Vinegar from lime.
With a sniff, sniff here,
And a sniff, sniff there,
Here a sniff, there a sniff,
Everywhere a sniff, sniff.
On my face I have a nose;
Use it all the time!

In my mouth I have a tongue;
Use it when I eat.
Tasting with it I can tell
Sour from the sweet.
With a lick, lick here,
And a lick, lick there,
Everywhere a lick, lick.
In my mouth I have a tongue;
Use it when I eat!

On my head I have two ears;
Listening all day long.
And if I didn’t have them there,
I couldn’t hear this song!
With a listen here,
And a listen there,
Everywhere a listen, listen.
On my head I have two ears;
Listening all day long!

On my body I have skin;
Feeling cold and heat.
It stretches from atop my head
Way down to my feet.
With a touch, touch here,
And a touch, touch there,
Here a touch, there a touch,
Everywhere a touch, touch.
On my body I have skin;
Feeling cold and heat!


The Smelling Song 

Original Author: Unknown

Sung to: “It’s raining, it’s pouring”

I’m smelling, I’m smelling,
my nose is busy smelling.
This is the song I like to sing,
When I smell most anything!
