Welcome!
“I’m in the Mood for Bubbles”
I’m in the mood for bubbles.
Hey, how about you?
I’m in the mood for bubbles.
Hey, how about you?
I’m in the mood for bubbles, playing along with you.
Hey, hey, what do you say? I’m in the mood for that today.
Hey, hey, what do you say? I’m in the mood for that!
“There are Bubbles in the Air”
There are bubbles in the air, in the air (x2)
There are bubbles in the air, there are bubbles everywhere
There are bubbles in the air, in the air.
There are bubbles way up high, way up high (x2)
There are bubbles way up high, way up high in the sky
There are bubbles way up high, way up high.
There are bubbles way down low, way down low (x2)
There are bubbles way down low, and they tickle on your toes,
There are bubbles way down low, way down low
Welcome!
“We Clap and Sing Hello”
We clap and sing hello,
We clap and sing hello,
With our friends at Storytime,
We clap and sing hello!
Verses: wave, stomp
“Splash Fall the Raindrops”
Splash fall the raindrops (wiggle fingers and move arms high to low)
To the ground they go
We need the rain (pat legs to create the sound of rain falling)
To help the flowers grow (raise hands and wiggle fingers)
“Dinosaur, Dinosaur”
Dinosaur, dinosaur
Turn around.
Dinosaur, dinosaur
Stomp the ground
Dinosaur, dinosaur show your claws.
Dinosaur, dinosaur
Snap your jaws.
Dinosaur, dinosaur
Turn around
Dinosaur, dinosaur
Sit back down!
“Dance Your Fingers Up”
(To the tune of Farmer in the Dell)
Dance your fingers up;
Dance your fingers down;
Dance your fingers in and out;
And, dance them all around.
Dance them on your shoulders;
Dance them on your head;
Dance them on your tummy;
And, put them all to bed.
Book #1
Get the Wiggles Out!
“I’m A Little Dump Truck”
Tune: “I’m a Little Tea Pot”
I’m a great big dump truck
Full of rocks
Here is my engine
Here is my box
When the crew is ready
Here me shout,
“Pull the levers and dump me out!”
Shhhhhhhh.
“I Have a Little Lady Bug”
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
I have a little ladybug,
ladybug, ladybug
I have a little ladybug,
Its wings are black and red.
See the little ladybug,
Ladybug, ladybug.
See the little ladybug
Flying here and there.
Now it’s landing on the ground,
On the ground, on the ground.
Now it’s landing on the ground
And crawling everywhere.
“Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly”
Flutter, flutter butterfly,
Floating in the autumn sky,
Floating by for all to see,
Floating by so merrily,
Flutter, flutter butterfly,
Floating in the bright blue sky.
Book #2

“Be a Seed”
Be a seed, small and round
Sprout, sprout, sprout up from the ground.
Shake your leaves for all to see
Stretch your arms up, you’re a tree!
“We Clap Goodbye Like This”
We clap goodbye like this,
We clap goodbye like this,
With our friends at Storytime,
We clap goodbye like this.
