Song: “The Blueberry Bush” (Tune: “The Mulberry Bush”)
Here we go round the blueberry bush,
The blueberry bush, the blueberry bush.
Here we go round the blueberry bush,
So early in the morning.

Pick the blueberries small and round…
Taste the blueberries, ripe and sweet…

Rhyme: Away up high in the apple tree (lift baby)
I saw a little baby smiling at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake gently)
Down came the baby (bring down)
Mmm, was she good! (Kiss)

Shoe the old mare (tap other foot)
But let the little pony
Run bare, bare, bare (tap feet together)
