September 26

Sing a Song

X marks the spot

X marks the spot
With a dot, dot, dot
And a dash, dash, dash
And a big question mark.
Tickle (child's name) up,
Tickle (child's name) down,
Tickle (child's name) all around!
Crack an egg!
Crack another egg!
With a hug,
And a squeeze,
And a tap on your knees
