Climb aboard my rocket ship.

Rhyme:  A farmer went trotting (Bounce baby on lap, facing you)
Upon his gray mare
With his daughter behind him
So rosy and fair
Then a duck cried out, “Quack!” (Lift baby up)
And they all tumbled down (Plop baby back into your lap)
Off of the horse
And upside down! (Tip baby gently backwards_)

One went pop (lift baby up) and the other went bam!

First floor, second floor, third floor, fourth floor (slowly lift baby)
