Song: “Getting Dressed” [Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”]
I’m getting dressed myself, I’m getting dressed myself.
Hi-ho, I’m growing-o, I’m getting dressed myself.
I’m putting on my shirt, I’m putting on my shirt.
Hi-ho, I’m growing-o, I’m putting on my shirt.
Additional verses:
I’m putting on my pants…
I’m putting on my socks…
I’m putting on my shoes…
Now look what I have done, now look what I have done. Hi-ho, I’m growing-o, Now look what I have done!

Flannel: Stars
Four little stars winking at me,
(Hold up 4 fingers)
One shot off, then there were three.
(Bend down 1st finger)
Three little stars with nothing to do,
One shot off and then there were two.
(Bend down 2nd finger)
Two little stars afraid of the sun,
One shot off, then there was one.
(Bend down 3rd finger)
One little star, alone is no fun.
It shot off, then there was none.
(Bend down 4th finger)
