All around the limbo world
Gonna do the limbo rock
All around the limbo clock
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock

First you spread your limbo feet
Then you move to limbo beat

Bend back like a limbo tree

All around the limbo clock

Songs we sang today:

Kitty Kitty
When you're a cat
You do as you please
Take a bunch of naps
Climb a few trees
Rub on my ankle
And make me sneeze
Life is like that
When you're a cat.

And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat
(can you do that)
And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat

When you're a cat
You're covered in fur
Tummy full of milk
Makes you purr
You dream about fishes, mice and birds
Life is like that
When you're a cat.

(faster)And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat
(can you do that)
And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat

(super fast)And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat
(can you do that)
And everybody goes
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty

Wake Up You Lazy Bones
Wake up you lazy bones
and go and find my cattle
Wake up you lazy bones
and go and find my cow
Wake up you lazy bones
and go and find my cattle
Wake up you lazy bones
and go and find my cow

The sun is hot
The grass is soft
I think I'll rest
Till they come home...

WAKE UP YOU LAZY BONES!

(Repeat twice)

One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
