Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

Song: "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More"
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more.
Oh no! It's up to my toe, but it ain't gonna rain no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more
Oh gee! It's up to my knee, but it ain't gonna rain no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more.
Oh my! It's up to my thigh, but it ain't gonna rain no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more.
Oh fiddle! It's up to my middle, but it ain't gonna rain no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more.
Oh heck! It's up to my neck but it ain't gonna rain no more.
It ain't gonna rain no more no more
It ain't gonna rain no more
Oh dread! It's up to my head, I'm just gonna swim on home!

Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
