Here's one with a Kid in it ( a baby goat in this case)

El  Hama'ayan ( to the spring ).  I think it's Yemenite, and it's done as a 
call-and-response. We sang this as kids (ha, ha,) in Israel.

El hama'ayan  - el  hama'ayan
Ba  gdi,  ba gdi katan  - ba gdi...
El hama'ayan  - el ha...
Ba  gdi  katan  - ba  gdi...

Hashalom  lo (or le', not sure)  - hashalom...
LeLavan Ben Betu'el -leLavan...
Hashalom  lo  - hasha...
U-le'Rachel. - ule'Rachel...

By the way, the song that Lori suggested is a beautiful round!

  I suggest Channan v'Aliza--it has an actual sheep in it. 

  Chanan v'Aliza yakum ba-sadeh 
  Chanan ha-roeh v'Aliza ha-seh! 
  Meh...meh... 

  (Chanan and Aliza go out to the field 
  Chanan is the shepherd--Aliza, the sheep 
  Baa...baa...) 

  shabbat shalom
