Song: “Did You Ever See a Superhero?” (Tune: “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”)
Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero, flying through the sky?
Fly this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero flying through the sky?

Additional verses:
…bouncing up and down?
…clapping their hands?

Rhyme: Away Up High
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 s/he good! (Kiss)
