Sing a Song

Shake My Sillies Out

I’m gonna shake, shake, shake my sillies out.
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out.
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out,
And wiggle my waggles away.

Other verses:
Clap my crankies out.
Jump my jiggles out.

I’m gonna sit, sit, sit and be quiet now.
Sit, sit, sit and be quiet now.
Sit, sit, sit and be quiet now.
