Hawkins Hollow Kids Songs
Rolling Garden Helper Groove
The chorus turns three garden actions into a repeatable family groove. Alice and Callen contribute different strengths, and each stop adds something to the growing pattern until the pasture fence opens onto a shared row of new green.
The part everyone joins: “Dig a little, water slow—work together, watch it grow!”
Lyrics
Count-In
Alice: Hands to the earth!
Callen: Eyes to the sky!
All: Roll that garden rhythm by!
Past the orchard, down the lane,
silver leaves still held the rain.
Alice made a furrow neat.
Callen dropped the seeds on beat.
Leader: Dig a little!
Everyone: Scoop, scoop, slow!
Leader: Water gently!
Everyone: Drip, drip, low!
All: Pat the earth and sing it so—
work together, watch it grow!
By the bridge above the creek,
tiny roots played hide-and-seek.
Through the clover, side by side,
they carried water stride by stride.
Leader: Dig a little!
Everyone: Scoop, scoop, slow!
Leader: Water gently!
Everyone: Drip, drip, low!
All: Pat the earth and sing it so—
work together, watch it grow!
Alice: Who makes room?
Everyone: We do, we do!
Callen: Who brings seeds?
Everyone: We do, we do!
Alice: Who brings water?
Callen: Sunlight too!
All: Every helping hand comes through!
Past firefly hill, the breeze
tickled rows of waiting peas.
At the fence, one green shoot curled—
small, but bright enough to greet the world.
Leader: Dig a little!
Everyone: Scoop, scoop, slow!
Leader: Water gently!
Everyone: Drip, drip, low!
All: Pat the earth and sing it so—
work together, watch it grow!
Row by row and friend by friend,
beauty grows from end to end!
Closing Tag: One small seed beneath the gray—
many hands can help its way.
