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

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

 “We’re Gonna Dance, We’re Gonna Wiggle” by Jessy Rushing

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Clap your hands, hands hands
Twist you hips, hips, hips
Stomp your feet, feet, feet
Move like this, this, this

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Shake your head, head, head
Rock your knees, knees, knees
And turn around
Once with me.

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe
Walk, walk, walk.
Run, run, run
And then we stop.

We’re gonna dance
And yell, “Hurray, hurray.”
We’re gonna wiggle, we’re gonna sway
No one can stop us once we start
We’re gonna move, we’re gonna groove our body parts.

“Mood Groove” by Julie Avirett

We’re doing our mood, mood groove, doo doo doo doo doo
Cause I have so many feelings
Come on and join our groove.

Some days I’m happy
Some days I’m happy
When I’m happy I like to laugh, “Haa haa haa Haa haa haa.”

Some days I feel sad
Some days I feel so sad
When I’m sad, I cry, “Boo hoo, Boo hoo.” Repeat Chorus

Other days I’m silly
Other days I’m silly
When I’m silly I make a funny sound, “Bliop, bliop.” Repeat Chorus

Other days I worry
Other days I worry
When I worry I frown, “Oh no, Oh no!” Repeat Chorus

And some days I get real mad
Some days I get stomp’n mad
When I’m mad I like to yell, “Ahh Ahh.” Repeat Chorus

Come and join our groove.

“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.

 

“Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
and we’ll never part.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

 

“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
