Deep & Wide
Deep and wide, deep and wide, there’s a fountain flowing deep and wide. [Repeat.]

Sing the words as written the first time through. Then, instead of saying the word “deep”, make a gesture (one hand above the other) to show depth. The next time, also show “wide” by spreading hands out to the side for width. Continue with “fountain” (make a fountain-like gesture), and “flowing” (make a rippling gesture with hands moving from one side to the other at chest level).

 

If Your're Happy & You Know It
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands (x2)
If you're happy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it
...nod your head...
...stamp your feet...
...shout hello...
...do all four...

 

Little Old Cabin in the Woods
A little old cabin in a wood 
A little old man by the window stood 
Saw a rabbit hopping by 
Knocking at his door 
Help me! Help me! Help me! he said, 
Before the hunter will shoot me dead!
Come little rabbit, come with me, 
Happy we will be.

Repeat each verse leaving out the next line but still doing the actions
