Tu B’Shevat
I hope you enjoy these original Tu B’Shevat songs. I wrote these songs for children, parents and teachers to use when they celebrate and learn about the holiday of Tu B’Shevat, the “birthday for the trees”. Hag Sameach, Sylvia
Tu B’Shevat is Here (The Farmer in the Dell)
Tu B’Shevat is here. Tu B’Shevat is here.
Let’s say thank-you to the trees. Tu B’Shevat is here!
Trees give us their shade. Trees give us their shade.
Let’s say thank-you to the trees for giving us their shade.
Trees give us their wood. Trees give us their wood.
Let’s say thank you to the trees for giving us their wood.
Trees give us their fruit. Trees give us their fruit.
Let’s say thank you to the trees for giving us their fruit.
Happy Birthday to the Trees (Frere Jacque)
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
To the trees, to the trees.
Once they were so small,
Now they’ve grown so tall.
They reach the sky, they reach the sky.
This is the Way We Plant a Tree (Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush)
This is the way we plant a tree,
Plant a tree, plant a tree.
This is the way we plant a tree,
When it is Tu B’Shevat.
This is the way we water a tree,
Water a tree, water a tree.
This is the way we water a tree,
When it is Tu B’Shevat.
This is the way we trim a tree,
Trim a tree, trim a tree.
This is the way we trim a tree,
When it is Tu B’Shevat.
This is the way we pick the fruit,
Pick the fruit, pick the fruit.
This is the way we pick the fruit,
When it is Tu B’Shevat.
This is the way we eat the fruit,
Eat the fruit, eat the fruit.
This is the way we eat the fruit,
When it is Tu B’Shevat.
Tu B’Shevat (Three Blind Mice)
Tu B’Shevat, Tu B’Shevat,
The tree’s birthday, the tree’s birthday.
Hurry and come plant a tree.
Water it and you will see,
How very tall a tree can be.
Tu B’Shevat, Tu B’Shevat.
