2.             Movin’, Groovin’, Twistin’, Shakin’ (Theme Song)

If we’re movin’ and twistin’ and shakin’
Then we’re groovin’ and movin’ and makin’
If we’re hoppin’ and boppin’ and takin’
We’re as happy as we can be

If we’re movi’n and twistin’ and boppin’
Then we’re groovin’ and movin’ and floppin’
If we’re shakin’ and quakin’ and stoppin’
We’ll have tons of fun you’ll see

If we’re movin’ and twistin’ and shakin’
Then we’re grooving and movin’ and achin’
 
If we’re hoppin’ and boppin’ and takin’
You can come on and dance with me

3.                First I’m Stretching

First I'm stretching to the ceiling
Just to start my day
Then I stretch my body forward

Just to pass the time away
I’m reaching for the stars with one hand
Then up with the other hand, I go
I can feel my body stretching?
First reach high, then low.

First I’m stretching to the ceiling
Just to start my day
Then I stretch my body forward
Just to pass the time away
I’m reaching for my foot with one hand
Then down on the other side, I go
I can feel my body stretching?
First reach high, then low.

4.                 Ring Around the Rosies #

We’re walking around the rosies
Walk around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
Let go, gently, we all sit down
Get back up, again & SKIP!

Skip around las rosas
Un bolsa de floras
Sueltalos, suavesito, vomos a sentarnos
Get back up, again & MARCH!

March around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
Let go, gently, we all sit down 
Get up, we’re going to WIGGLE!

Wiggle around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
Let go, gently, we all sit down

Skip around las rosas
Un bolsa de floras
Sueltalos, suavesito, vomos a sentarnos
Get back up, again, we’re WALKING!

5.             Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees & toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
Knees & toes
And eyes and ears and mouth & nose
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes

Head, shoulders, hands & nose
Hands & nose
Head, shoulders, hands & nose
Hands & nose
And elbows, chin, and hips & toes
Head, shoulders, hands & nose

REPEAT

6         Shake a Leg

You shake one leg
Then you shake another
You count up 1,2,3
You strut around and do a jig
And you lift and slap each knee

You shake one leg
Then you shake another
You count up 1,2,3
You walk the plank with arms held high
And you lift and slap each knee

You shake one leg
Then you shake another
You count up 1,2,3
You strut around and do a jig
And you lift and slap each knee

You shake one leg
Then you shake another
You count up 1,2,3
You walk the plank with arms held high
And you lift and slap each knee

7.           First We'll Tap Our Toes

First we’ll tap our toes HEY!
Then we’ll lift our heals OH!
And we’ll tap our toes, HEY!
Just you and me

We’ll walk our feet out
Both out and in
We’ll walk our feet out
Both out and in
We’ll walk our feet out
Both out and in
Just you and me

REPEAT

8.      Do You Know How To...?

Do you know how to bang the drum
Bang the drum
Bang the drum
Do you know how to bang the drum
Just like a marching band

Do you know how to blow your horn
Blow your horn
Blow your horn
Do you know how to blow your horn
Just like a marching band

Do you know how to clang the lids
Clang the lids
Clang the lids
Do you know how to clang the lids
Just like a marching band

10.           Hike the Hill 

Hike the hill
And get your fill
Hike every day and after
over this and over that
You’re hiking even faster

Climb the hill
And get your fill
Climb every day and after
over this and over that
You’re climbing even faster

Crawl up the hill
And get your fill
Crawl every day and after
over this and over that
You’re crawling even faster

11.          Sit Down, Turn Around  

We sit down. On the turn around command, we move our hands/arms in a circle like we are churning butter. Older children might want the challenge of keeping up the the fast tempo and actually squatting like they are sitting in a chair (not sitting on the floor) and turning around.
- We drum the floor, with imaginary sticks
- We rub our tummies with our hands.
- Pound with an imaginary nail with a hammer, or pound one fist into the other.
- We thump our fingers in the air
- We pop the air bubble with clapping hands, or an open hand on the floor.

Sit down, turn around,
Beat it like a drummer
Sit down, turn around
Drum, drum, drum

Sit down, turn around,
Rubbin’ on your tummy
Sit down, turn around
Rub, rub, rub

Sit down, turn around,
Pound it with a hammer
Sit down, turn around
Pound, pound, pound

Sit down, turn around,
Thump it with your fingers
Sit down, turn around
Thump, Thump, Thump

Sit down, turn around,
Pop it like a bubble
Sit down, turn around
Pop, pop, pop

“FASTER NOW!”

12.            Wave Hello &Then Goodbye  #

CHORUS
Here we skip loopty lew

All on a Saturday night.

I give my arms a shake, shake, shake

I take my right foot out
I give my foot a shake, shake, shake
And turn myself about.

Spreading your legs will make an X
Bow arms to the side, and make a C
Go straight to an L, then down to a T

REPEAT

21.       Come and Step Along with Me

Come and step along with me
Stepping up and down
Upstairs, downstairs
All over town

Knocking on the windows
Peeking through the locks
Listening for the sounds of day
I hear the clock tick tock

Come and step along with me
Stepping up and down
Upstairs, downstairs
All over town

Opening the front door
Peeking through the crack
Listening for the sounds of day
They’re coming from the back

Come and step along with me
Stepping up and down
Upstairs, downstairs
All over town
Looking up and over
Nosey as can be
Listening for the sounds of day
That sound, I think, was me.

23.         Bubble Bath Song

I’m gonna wash that dirty arm pit.
I’m gonna scrub my hands, no rush
I’m gonna put some shampoo in my hair.
Fight tangles with my brush.

I’m gonna wipe that dirt from ‘round my eyes
And wash the grime from off my sides
I’m gonna clean those boogies from my nose
And scrape the jam between my toes
I’m gonna scrub the muck right off my feet
‘Cause before I got in here, I reeked.

I’m gonna clean my backside
and my front
I’m gonna rub and scour
off this gunk.

 I’m gonna bend and twist
Dip down, clean here
wipe dust and grime
from ‘round my ears

I’m gonna wash with soap and suds
I’m gonna sit and soak away some mud
And when the water’s down the drain.
It’ll feel like I washed in the rain
I’ll be clean and spic and span
Much better than when I began

25.       Smile Like You Are Happy

Smile like you are happy
Pout like you are sad
Laugh like you heard a joke
Frown like your mad

Eyes open in surprise
Closed like you’re asleep
Head in hands and resting
One eye open for a peek

Smile like you are happy
Pout like you are sad
Laugh like you heard a joke
Frown like your mad

Eyes open in surprise
Closed like you’re asleep
Head in hands and resting
One eye open for a peek

Smile like you are happy

26         Itsey Bitsey Spider #

The itsey, bitsey spider
Went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsey, bitsey spider
Went up the spout again 

La Arana Pequena
Went up the water spout
Down came la lluvia and washed the spider out
Out came el sol and dried up all the rain
Y La Arana Pequena
Went up the spout again

27.         Sit Down a Minute

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds
Can you hear the birdies sing?
Or is that a bell going ring-a-ding-ding

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds
Can you hear the lion roar?
Or is that the bellow of the man next door

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds
Can you hear that parrot squawk
Sounds like he’s just trying to talk

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds
Can you hear that donkey bray
Seems like he’s not happy today

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds
Can you hear that buzzing bee
Sounds like he’s hiding somewhere in the tree.

Sit down a minute, don’t say a word
Listen for the sounds of animals and birds.

28.          Rest Now, Rest Now, Day or Night 

Rest now, rest now, day or night
Put all toys and things from site
You have done a lot today
Twistin’ , shakin’ all the way
Rest now, rest now
No more play
It’s the end, we’re sad to say

Rest now, rest now, just be still
Of music, you’ve had your fill
Dancing fast and dancing slow
Movin’, groovin’, to and fro
Rest now, rest now
‘cuz you know
Now it’s time for us to go.
