When I Hear the Music

My hands like to clap. My hands like to clap.
When I hear the music, my hands like to clap.

My toes like to tap. My toes like to tap.
When I hear the music, my toes like to tap.

My head likes to nod. My head likes to nod.
When I hear the music, my head likes to nod.

My shoulders like to move. My shoulders like to move.
When I hear the music, my shoulders like to move.

My body likes to sway. My body likes to sway.
When I hear the music, my body likes to sway,
My shoulders like to move, my head likes to nod,
My toes like to tap, my hands like to clap!

I Wake Up My Hands
(Tune: Buffalo Gals)

I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap!
Clap, clap, clap! Clap, clap, clap!
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap!
At music class today!

Shake Your Sillies Out

We’re gonna shake, shake, shake your sillies out!
We’re gonna shake, shake, shake your sillies out!
And wiggle your waggles away!

Other Verses:
Nod, nod, nod your naughties out.
Clap, clap, clap your crazies out.
Jump, jump, jump your jiggles out.
Stretch, stretch, stretch and yawn again.

 

I Use My Hands
(Tune: When the Saints go Marching in)

I ask for more. I ask for more.
I ask for more. I ask for more.
I use my hands to tell you what I need.
I ask for more. I ask for more.

Other Verses:
I need to stop.
I ask for help.
It’s time to eat.
I need to wait.
We are all done.

 

Piggies
(Tune: Camptown Races)

Five little piggies in a tub. 
Oink, oink. Oink, oink.
Cleaning up with a scrub-a-dub-dub.
Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink!
Wash your ears and tail.
Don’t forget your snout!
One little piggy is all clean.
Time for him to get out!

It is Summer
(Tune: If  Your Happy and You Know It!)

It is Summer and it’s time to take a swim!
It is Summer and it’s time to take a swim!
It is summer that’s the season! 
We don’t need a better reason!
It is summer and it’s time to take a swim!

I Can Count to Four!

I can count to four.
I can count to four.
I’ll count my measure once.
Then I’ll count it more and more!

I’ll count:
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
I can count to four.

Open Shut Them
Goodbye Song

Open, shut them. Open, shut them.
Give a little clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them. Open, shut them
Put them in your lap, lap, lap.

Creep them. Creep them. Slowly, creep them.
Right up to your chin, chin, chin.
Open wide your little mouth.
But do not let them in!

Wave them, Wave them, Really wave them! 
Right up in to the sky, sky, sky,
Wave them once. Now Blow a kiss.
It’s time to say good bye, bye, bye!

Happy Signing!
