Right up to your chin chin chin
Creep them, creep them,
Creep them, creep them,
But do not let them in!

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
Song: The Wheels on the Bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
The people on the bus go up and down…

The babies on the bus go, "Waa, waa, waa…"
The mommies on the bus go, "Shh, shh, shh"…
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.

Rub, rub, rub your hands….
Clap, clap, clap your hands….

Swiftly clap them – one, two, three.

I’ve been working on the railroad
All the live long day

Just to pass the time away

Rise up so early in the morn
Can’t you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn.
Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow
Dinah, won’t you blow your horn
Dinah, won’t you blow

Someone’s in the kitchen, I know
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah

Past my tummy,
Past my knee,
On my toe,
Take that you flea! (tickle or kiss foot)
