COWS!

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

A hip, a hip, a hippopotamus
Got on, got on, got on a city bus
And all, and all, and all the people said,
"You're squishing us!"
A sheep, a sheep, a sheep got on a city bus
And all, and all, and all the people said,

A cow, a cow, a cow got on a bus

And all, and all, and all the people said,
"Moooooove over!"

Goodbye Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
Blow a kiss and say "Goodbye"
