Song/Rhyme: Pat-A-Cake
Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it and pat it and mark it with a “B”
And put it in the oven for baby and me!
Make a cake, make a cake, baker woman.
Make it in as many flavors as you can!
Please decorate it really nice,
I can’t wait to have a great big slice!

Song: “Baby Put Your Pants On” (Tune: “Short’nin’ Bread”)
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on (move baby’s legs)
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three (gently poke baby’s belly)
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three
Leg to the left, leg to the right (move legs)
Wiggle and jiggle and pull them up tight
Leg to the left, leg to the right
Wiggle and jiggle and pull them up tight
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three
Baby put your pants on, pants on, pants on
Baby put your pants on, one, two, three!

Song (Recording): “Can’t Wait to Celebrate” – Jim Gill: The Irrational Anthem
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
This is big, big, big. Move arms out to side
This is small, small, small. Move arms back to center.
This is short, short, short. Hold hands with palms facing each other
This is tall, tall, tall. Reach one hand above head
This is fast, fast, fast. Circle fists quickly
This is slow, slow, slow. Circle fists slowly
This is yes, yes, yes. Nod
This is no, no, no. Shake head

Song: “Grand Old Duke of York” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
The grand old Duke of York (bounce baby)
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill (lift baby)
And marched them down again.
‘Cause when you’re up you’re up (lift baby)
And when you’re down you’re down
And when you’re only halfway up (lift baby)
You’re neither up nor down.
He marched them to the left (bounce left)
He marched them to the right (bounce right)
He marched them to the top of the hill (lift baby)
Oh, what a silly sight!
