(This song is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in Spanish)
Estrellita, donde estás?
Me pregunto que serás.
En el cielo y en el mar,
Un diamante de verdad.
Estrellita, donde estás?
Me pregunto que serás...
 
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky –
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.

Castanets and tambourines (tambourines)
Castanets and tambourines (tambourines)
Shake the maracas and dance, dance, dance,
It’s Cinco de Mayo today!
La, la la la la la lah (clap clap clap)
La, la la la la la lah (clap clap clap)
Shake the maracas and dance, dance, dance,
It’s Cinco de Mayo today!

Mexican Hat Dance – place sombrero (or any hat) on the floor; children gather round, hands on hips, jump from one foot to the other. Find the tune for the dance on U-tube or similar.
We jump, and jump and jump,
And dance around the hat,
We jump, and jump, and jump,
And spin around like that!
Join hands in a circle, dance around the hat, singing la la la la etc. 


 Tune: Sing a song of sixpence
Here is our piñata
What a sight to see,
Filled with sweets & goodies
Just for you & me.
When it's time to break it,
We'll circle all around
Then we'll scramble for the sweets
That fall down to the ground.

Uno, dos, tres amigos,
Cuatro, cinco, seis amigos,
Siete, ocho, nueve, amigos
Diez amigos son! 
 
 
Tune:The Farmer and the Dell
It's Cinco de Mayo today!
It's Cinco de Mayo today!
Let's clap our hands and shout "Ole".
It's Cinco de Mayo today!

Tune: Mexican Hat Dance
Today's the fifth of May,
"Cinco de Mayo," we say,
Let's join hands and sing and play --
It's Cinco de Mayo today.



Tune: Traditional
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
Ya no puede caminar,
Porque le falte, porque no tiene
Dinero para gastar!
