Open, Shut Them

Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Give a little clap,
Open, shut them
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Put them in your lap.

Creep them, creep them,
Right up to your chin.
Open up your little mouth,
But do not put them in.

Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
To your shoulders fly,
Then like little birdies
Let them flutter to the sky.
Falling, fallin almost to the ground,
Quickly pick them up again and turn
Them round and round.
Faster, faster, faster.
Slower, slower, slower.

(repeat first verse)

Fingerplay directions:
Useful for quieting a group of small children.
Match hand motions with words.
