Pre-school Kindergarten teacher in need of new transition songs

I have worked in schools for 4 years now, and am getting sick and tired of the same old transition songs. By transition songs, I mean simple verses (preferably with movement) that help transition children from independent work time to group meeting.
I work with children ages 3-6 in a Montessori classroom and just thought I'd through this out into the universe to see if anyone has any really cool and new fun songs, CD suggestion, website suggestions and otherwise.
Of course, I have a million and one other more pressing matters; but these simple things, like singing and movement, keep children happy and engaged...so its my job to keep things interesting and engaging!

I welcome any and all suggestions, thank you.

Whitney,
Not sure I know enough songs to be able to make suggestions without knowing what songs you are already using. Perhaps a list of what you are tired of using could be helpful. New songs probably need to be developed, some older songs to which movement is added, some new words to old melodies that can include movement. But a starting point of what you are already using would be a help.
