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

Bowing, one by one. (make fingers bow)

Four little, five little, six little flowers

Give them rain and lots of sunshine,
So they grow up tall!

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