Corny Songs
I'm A Little Cornstalk
Tune: "I'm A Little Teapot"
I'm a little cornstalk tall and stout,
see me grow and watch me sprout.
When I'm brown, you can shuck me down.
Boil me up and I'm the best in town.
See the Little Kernel
See the little kernel in the pot,
Turn on the heat and watch it hop.
When it gets all warmed up, it will pop.
Mmmm, it tastes good when it’s hot.!
I'm A Stalk of Corn
tune: "I'm a Little Teapot"
I’m a stalk of corn growing high
Here are my husks oh so dry
When you pull them back
You will find
Juicy kernels sweet as pie
