Little Bird
“Little Bird, Little Bird, spin around,
Little Bird, Little Bird, tap the ground.
Little Bird, Little Bird, wiggle your nose,
Little Bird, Little Bird, touch your toes. “
My Wonderful Child
“My wonderful child, jump up and down,
My wonderful child, make a frown.
My wonderful child, crawl like a bug,
My wonderful child, come give me a big hug!”
