Sing a Song

Open Shut Them, Open Shut Them

Open shut them, open shut them,
Clap a little clap, clap, clap.
Open shut them, open shut them,
Pat them in your lap, lap, lap.
Creep them, crawl them, creep them, crawl them
Move them to your chin, chin, chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in, in, in.
Open shut them, open shut them,
Clap a little clap, clap, clap.
Open shut them, open shut them,
Pat them in your lap, lap, lap.
Creep them, crawl them, creep them, crawl them
Move them to your chin, chin, chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in, in, in.
