This is a song I wrote last year, and I was happy to take it back out this fall. This song can be used to reinforce location of body parts, while at the same time teaching that not all scarecrows are scary. It was inspired by the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz — one of my favorite movies of all time — and I picture him every time I sing it. I bet you will, too!
Out in the field in a row of corn,
Stands a scarecrow so forlorn.
Crows on his head and crows on his feet,
He’s the saddest scarecrow you’ll ever meet.
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Crows on his head and crows on his feet,
He’s the saddest scarecrow you’ll ever meet.
Out in the field in a row of corn,
Stands a scarecrow so forlorn.
Crows on his elbows and crows on his knees,
The scarecrow’s even scared of a little breeze.
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Crows on his elbows and crows on his knees,
The scarecrow’s even scared of a little breeze.
Out in the field in a row of corn,
Stands a scarecrow so forlorn.
Crows on his nose and crows on his ears,
The scarecrow’s crying scarecrow tears.
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Can’t scare the crows, oh no no!
Crows on his nose and crows on his ears,
The scarecrow’s crying scarecrow tears.
