Little Musicians Song: The Farmers' Fair

The Farmers' Fair is a singing and dancing song.  Invite everyone to choose a partner.  Stand facing each other, holding both hands.  During the verses swing arms back and forth to the beat of the song.  On the chorus, "Ru-di-ru-di..." dance and skip in a circle.  Children love dancing with a partner because it makes music a community project and children love being in community!

The Farmers' Fair 
German Folksong:  Bi de Buern, Lubeck

Verse 1:
We're invited, dear children, all to come to the fair.
There is dancing and singing, all your friends will be there.

Chorus:
Ru-di-ru-di ral-la-la,ral-la-la, ral-la-la,
Ru-di-ru-di ral-la-la, ral-la-la-la.

Verse 2:
Happy laughter and music and an oom-pah-pah band,
We are sending a message all over this land.

Chorus

Verse 3:
Oh the sun it is shining and the fair is such fun,
And we won't want to leave it 'til the day is all done.

Chorus
