Go in And Out the Window

Just like me.

move your body up and down…

My Hands Wave Hello
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
My hands wave hello,
My hands wave hello,
Every time I see my friends
My hands wave hello!

My face makes a smile,
My face makes a smile,
Every time I see my friends
My face makes a smile!

My fingers blow a kiss,
My fingers blow a kiss,
Every time I see my friends
My fingers blow a kiss!
