Hinges

I'm all made of hinges
'Cause everything bends.
From the top of my head
Right down to my end.

I'm hinges in front
And I'm hinges in back.
I'm glad I'm made of hinges
Or else I would crack!

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they wrinkle when they're wet?
Do they straighten when they're dry?
Can you wave them at your neighbor
With an element of flavor?
Do your ears hang high?

Open, Shut Them

Open, shut them; open, shut them.
Let your hands go clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them; open, shut them;
Drop them in your lap, lap, lap.
Creep them, creep them; creep them, creep them;
Right up to your chin, chin, chin.
Open up your little mouth,
But do not let them in!

I Have Ten Fingers

I have ten fingers,
And they all belong to me.
I can make them do things,
Would you like to see?
I can put them up high,
I can put them down low,
I can make them hide, I can fold them so.

Rig A Jig Jig

As I was walking
Down the street,
Down the street,
Down the street,
A very good friend

I chanced to meet;
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Away we go, away we go;
Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

We clapped our hands
And stomped our feet,
Stomped our feet,
Stomped our feet,
We clapped our hands
And stomped our feet,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

We jumped up high
And came back down,
Came back down,
Came back down,
We jumped up high
And came back down,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Away we go, away we go;
Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

We climbed on a train
And tooted the horn,
Tooted the horn,
Tooted the horn,
We climbed on a train
And tooted the horn,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

Kissed my ma
And hugged my pa,
Hugged my pa,
Hugged my pa,
Kissed my ma
And hugged my pa,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Away we go, away we go;
Rig a jig jig and away we go,
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Hi Ho.

Here Are My Eyes

Here are my eyes, here is my nose.
Here is my chin, here are my toes.
Here is my waist, here are my knees.
Now you can see all of me.

I Wiggle My Fingers

I wiggle my fingers.
I wiggle my toes.
I wiggle my body.
I wiggle my nose.
Now all my wiggles are gone, you see.
And I'll sit as still, as still can be.

Two Little Feet

Two little feet go tap, tap, tap.
Two little hands go clap, clap, clap.
One little body turns around.
One little body sits quietly down.

Let Your Hand Go Clap, Clap, Clap

Let your hand go clap, clap, clap.
Let your fingers go snap, snap, snap.
Let your lips go very round,
But do not make a sound.
[Take a deep breath.]
Now, we're ready to listen.

We Can Hop Like a Rabbit

We can hop like a rabbit.
We can jump like a frog.
We can quack like a duck.
We can run like a dog.
We can fly like a bird.
We can swim like a fish.
We can sit like a good child,
As still as this.

We Can Jump, Jump, Jump

We can jump, jump, jump.
We can hop, hop, hop.
We can clap, clap, clap.
We can stop, stop, stop.
We can nod our heads for yes.
We can shake our heads for no.
We can bend our knees a little bit.
And we can sit down slow.
