A synonym song and an Antonym song

Tune: "Hush Little Baby"

Synonyms almost the same,
Synonyms almost the same,
Come, let's play a matching game.
Sing two words that mean the same.

When I'm happy, I am glad.
When I'm naughty, I am bad.
If it's large, it's also big.
A hog is also called a pig.

See me hurry, See me rush.
To be quiet means to hush.
If I want, I also wish.
A plastic bowl is still a dish.



To the Tune of "Do you know the Muffin Man?"

Oh do you know the antonyms?
The antonyms, the antonyms.
Oh do you know the antonyms?
The meanings aren't the same.

When I say, "Yes"
You say, "No"
When I say, "Stop"
You say, "Go"
When I say, "Hot"
You say, "Cold"
The meanings aren't the same.
