Birdfeeder Storytime Song Lyrics

Shake My Sillies Out
I gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
And wiggle my waggles away!
 
 - I gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out…
 - I gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out…
 - I gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out…
 - I gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out…
 
Tall as a Tree
I’m tall as a tree
I’m wide as a house
I’m thin as a pin
And small as a mouse
 

Wee Ones Easter Storytime Song Lyrics

Well Hello, Everybody, Can You Touch Your Toes?
Well, hello, everybody, can you touch your toes?
Touch your toes?
Touch your toes?
Well, hello, everybody, can you touch your toes?
Touch your toes?

Repeat with theses variations:
 - Well hello, everybody, can you touch your nose?
 - Well hello, everybody, can you pat your head?
 - Well hello, everybody, can you clap your hands?
 
A Bouncing We Will Go (to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”)
