Clap Your Hands (If You’re Happy and You Know It) – Lyrics & Movements
If you’re happy and you know it,
clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it,
clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it,
clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it, snap your fingers
If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it, slap your knees
If you’re happy and you know it, say hey-hey
If you’re happy and you know it, do it all
Father Abraham – Lyrics & Movements
Father Abraham, Father Abraham
Have you heard of Father Abraham
How he ate and drank
And he drank and ate
Then he did something like this:
Right hand
Left hand
Right foot
Left foot
And head
Body, too
Fingertwist – Lyrics & Movements
If you’re feeling low-down, sitting on a chair
Everything is gloomy and no one treats you fair
Put away your troubles and mess around your hair
Let me see your thumbs now, put them in the air
I’m wagging with my thumbs from side to side like this
Then my index fingers, easy as it is
All my fingers do the fingertwist
Twist is all you need and so hard to resist
A-ha-ha
I’m looking all around, what do you think I see
Many, many twisters, twistin’ here with me
Keep on twistin’ do the best you can
Everybody’s twistin’ -be a Chubby Checker-fan
Everybody’s steaming, everybody’s hot
Everyone is twistin’ with everything they’ve got
Keep on twistin’ every single day
When the evening comes then twist the night away
Two choruses
A-ha-ha
A-ha-ha
A-ha-ha
A-ha-ha
Good Day – Lyrics & Movements
An elephant from old Bombay
Radi-daj-dadi-daj-daj-day.
Fell in love one sunny day
Radi-daj-dadi-daj-daj-day.
She was so neat
She did the funk
And he caught her
By the trunk
They were so happy and so polite
You would see them shaking trunks all night
-Come on now!
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
I know a girl
From Isle of Wight
Radi-daj-dadi-daj-daj-day
And people say
That she is bright
Radi-daj-dadi-daj-daj-day
She read a book
About some germs
Who were contagious
And looked like worms
So when she greeted
Both high and low
She would do it with her right elbow
-Everybody!
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
I know a boy who’s got the blues
He fell in love with both his shoes
They were so flashy Italian-made
And they were blue-suede and almost paid
He turned his back as though he’d leave
And he greeted people with his heel
-Sing along now!
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
I know a dog who roam the parks
And he is known for all his barks
One day he sat in a café
In walked a girl-dog, he said Olé
Then he said woof and bought her juice
And they’d greet each other nose to nose
-Altogether!
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
Good day, good day
Good day, good day, good day
Head and Shoulders – Lyrics & Movements
Head and shoulders knees and toes

Head and shoulders knees and toes
Knees and toes

Honky Tonk – Lyrics & Movements
Right leg out
Right leg back
Right leg out
And shake it all about
That’s the way to do it
Do the Honky Tonk, yeah
That’s what it’s all about
Left leg out
Right hand out
Left hand out
Belly out
Long hair out
Big Butt out
If Your Ears Are Hanging Down – Lyrics & Movements
If your ears are hanging down
You can always swing them ’round
You can tow a little bow
Or fifteen in a row
You can take them on your shoulder
Like a brave and merry soldier
If your ears are hanging down
Cheeks
Nose
Mouth
Hair
In a Forest – Lyrics & Movements
In a forest in a house
Lives a little hairy mouse
He is sleeping on the floor
-Who knocks on his door?
Help me cries a hare in fear
Hunters want my life so dear
Please come in and share my time
Put your paw in mine
-Make it small
-Who taps on his door?
-Make it big
-Who bangs on his door?
In a Forest (Party Mix) – Lyrics & Movements

In Our Little Street – Lyrics & Movements
I know a man who’s pressed for time
In our little street
He runs to work each morning
In our little street
(Pant pant, pant, pant)
I know a cat that’s limping
She strained her little back paw
(Meooow, meooow)
Miss Anderson’s gone shopping
Her bags are all too heavy
(Pasta and tomatoes, burgers and potatoes)
I know a man with a bowler-hat
He looks like Charlie Chaplin
(Strut along and twist your walking stick)
In wintertime it’s snowing
So, we’ll have to go trudging
(Trudge along in the high snow)
When all the snow has melted
Then we can play some hopscotch
(Hip-hop, hip hip hop…)

The Tiger Hunt – Lyrics & Movements
Hi Tiger Hunters! When you’re going on a tiger hunt with me, you’ll have to be very cautious and have your tongue in the right place of your mouth. And that is in front of your lower teeth like this: Yeah, let’s go! And say after me!
Yeah! -Yeah!
Yeah! -Yeah!
We’re going on a tiger hunt
-We’re going on a tiger hunt
We’re coming to some grass
-We’re coming to some grass
We cannot walk around it
-We cannot walk around it
We cannot walk under it
-We cannot walk under it
We’ve got to walk right through it
-We’ve got to walk right through it
We’re coming to a swamp
We cannot walk around it
We cannot walk under it
We’ve got to walk right through it
We’re coming to a tree
We cannot walk around it
That is very strange
We’ve got to climb and climb it
We’re looking all around
We cannot see a single thing
Got to climb on down again
We’re coming to a bridge
We cannot walk under it
We cannot walk UNDER it
We’ve got to walk over it
We’re coming to a cave
It’s very dark inside
We’re feeling our way
We’re feeling something soft
We’re feeling something warm
We’re feeling something furry
A TIGER!!!!!
(Do everything backwards)
-Finally at home!
Where’s the Thumb? – Lyrics & Movements
Where’s the thumb, where’s the thumb
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, now
I’m okay today now
Run-a-way, Run-a-way
Where’s the index finger, where’s the index finger?
Where’s the middle finger, where’s the middle finger?
Where’s the ring finger, where’s the ring finger?
Where’s the little finger, where’s the little finger?
Where is everybody, where is everybody?
Here we are, here we are
