"I Have Ten Little Fingers"
I have ten little fingers,
They all belong to me. (hold hands up)
I can make them do things,
Would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight, (hands in fist)
I can open them wide. (spread hands open)
I can put them together, (clasp hands together)
And I can make them hide. (hands behind back)
I can fly them up high, (hands over head)
I can fly them down low. (hands to knees)
I can fold them together
And hold them, just so. (fold hands in lap)
"Clown Face"
Who is it that wears a smile?
That seems to stretch a half-a-mile?
And makes his smile turn around?
Why, who could it be but Mr. Clown?
