Ok here is another song that I have no idea where it came from. The lyrics I sing are:
When you’re one, one, one.
Tap on your bum, bum, bum.
When you’re two, two, two.
Tap on your shoe, shoe, shoe.
When you’re three, three, three.
Tap on your knee, knee, knee.
When you’re four, four, four.
Tap on the floor, floor, floor
When you’re five, five, five.
Tap on your thigh, thigh, thigh.
When you’re six, six, six.
Tap with your sticks, sticks, sticks.
Though I have heard also this version
When you’re one, one, one.
Tap on your bum, bum, bum.
When you’re two, two, two.
Tap on your shoe, shoe, shoe.
When you’re three, three, three.
Tap on your knee, knee, knee.
When you’re four, four, four.
Tap on the floor, floor, floor
When you’re five, five, five.
Tap on your thigh, thigh, thigh.
When you’re six, six, six.
Tap with your sticks, sticks, sticks.
When you’re seven, seven, seven
Tap up to heaven, heaven heaven.
When you’re eight, eight, eight.
Tap on the gate, gate, gate.
When you’re nine, nine, nine.
Tap right in time, time, time.
When you’re ten, ten, ten.
Just start again, gain, gain.
I know Bob McGrath from sesame St. sings this I think on one of his cds called “Songs & Games For Toddlers”. But his words are different and he also credits it to Public Domain.
He sings:
When you’re one, one, one,
Tap on your thumb, thumb, thumb. (not as much fun as my words)
Anybody else know anything about this song?
