Song: “Walter the Waltzing Worm” – Hap Palmer: Walter the Waltzing Worm 

Flannel: Five Clean and Squeaky Pigs (Tune: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”)
Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a big THUD
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs.

Flannel: Five Elephants in the Tub
One elephant in the tub
Going for a swim,
Knock-knock (clap twice), splash-splash (slap knees twice),
Come on in!
2 . . . 3 . . . 4
Five elephants in the tub
Going for a swim,
Knock-knock (clap twice), splash-splash (slap knees twice),
And they all FELL IN!
