Sing About Scarcrows
I’m A Little Scarecrow
Stuffed with hay
Here I stand in a field all day.
When I see the crows,
I like to shout,
"Hey! You crows, you better get out!"

Scarecrows (tune - Sing a Song of Sixpence)
We're the farmer's scarecrow
We scare the away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
without any words,
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
when they come walking round.
Boo!

Did You Ever See a Scarecrow?
(tune of 'Did You ever See A Lassie?")
Did you ever see a scarecrow,
A scarecrow, a scarecrow?
Did you ever see a scarecrow,
That's filled with dry hay?
He's dressed all in old clothes;
He scares off the black crows.
Have you ever seen a scarecrow,
That's filled with dry hay?

SCARECROW CHANT
Scarecrow, scarecrow,
How scary can you be?
You scared away the crows
But you can't scare me!
No, you can't scare me!
