Get up on your feet
and to everyone you meet
say hello,hello, hello, hello

When you meet somebody new
first thing you should do
is say hello, hello, hello, hello

Say it high
say it low
say it fast
say it slow!

Get up on your feet
and to everyone you meet
say hello,hello, hello, hello

“I’ve Got a Song in My Tummy” by Laurie Berkner

I’ve got a song in my tummy and it wants to come out,
I’ve got a song in my tummy
I’ve got a song in my tummy and it wants to come out,
I’ve got a song in my tummy

I’ve got a song in my tummy and it wants to come out,
And when it does, I’m gonna sing and shout
La la la la, la la la la la…..
I’ve got a song in my tummy.

Optional body parts: shoulders, elbows, knees, head, arms, legs, fingers, toes, lips, nose…

“This is How I Look” by Jennifer Peyton

This is how I look when I’m sad
This is how I look when I’m sad
I give a face to show you how I feel inside
I give a face I cannot hide
This is how I look when I am: surprised, mad, happy, tired, scared

“I Feel Silly” from “Mr. Mike TV”

I feel silly so I stomp my feet,
Stomp my feet, stomp my feet.
I feel silly so I stomp my feet,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I clap my hands,
Clap my hands, clap my hands.
I feel silly so I clap my hands,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I jump up and down,
Jump up and down, jump up and down.
I feel silly so I jump up and down,
While I sing a silly song.

I feel silly so I shake my hips,
Shake my hips, shake my hips.
I feel silly so I shake my hips,
While I sing a silly song.

 

“No One Like You” from Sesame Street

I like your eyes
I like your nose
I like your mouth
Your ears, your hands, your toes
I like your face
It’s really you
I like the things you say and do
There’s not a single soul
Who sees the skies
The way you see them
Through your eyes
And aren’t you glad
You should be glad
There’s no one, no one
Exactly like you

“It’s Time to Say Goodbye” by Joseph Pinson

It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye

In Japan, they say Sayonara
In Germany, they say Auf wiedersehen
In France, they say Au revior
And in Mexico, they say Adios

It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say so long
It’s time to say see you later, alligator
It’s time to say goodbye
