Here come the women Bringin' tasty roots They gathered fresh berries And other wild fruits. GATHER ROUND THE FIRE GRAB A BIG STONE BEAT IT TO THE RHYTHM WITH AN OLD LEG BONE. Here come the children From a busy day Workin' round the camp With little time to play. GATHER ROUND THE FIRE GRAB A BIG STONE BEAT IT TO THE RHYTHM WITH AN OLD LEG BONE. Everybody's dancin' now And beatin' on the ground Everybody's makin' Such a Stone Age sound. GATHER ROUND THE FIRE GRAB A BIG STONE BEAT IT TO THE RHYTHM WITH AN OLD LEG BONE.

36. [to the tune of Yankee Doodle] The war of independence changed the course of history, Instead of kings, now people ruled with democracy. The colonies revolted and fought England in the war. They persevered and formed a nation, free forevermore.

38. Sumeria, Egypt, China, too. Hooray. Hooray. Africa and America too. Hooray. Hooray. Japan and Greece have much too see On and on through history And they all had art that we have learned about. In Babylon, they worked in clay. Hooray. Hooray. Built ziggurats in which to pray. Hooray. Hooray. Cuneiform was how they wrote, The first ones who could write a note. And they all had art that we have learned about. The pyramids of Egypt were the biggest ever made. The mummies of their pharaohs were safely in them laid. With gold and food and jewels and more, They left them there and sealed the door. And they all had art that we have learned about. In China, they made paper and they printed on it too. They also built pagodas and made kites that really flew. They painted dragons in the air, They played their music everywhere. And they all had art that we have learned about. In Africa, they kept the beat. Hooray. Hooray. They played their drums and danced their feet. They dyed their cloth with patterns bright, And sculptured metal to catch the light. And they all had art that we have learned about. Sumeria, Egypt, China, too. Hooray. Hooray. Africa and America too. Hooray. Hooray. Japan and Greece have much too see On and on through history And they all had art that we have learned about. [To the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"]
