Flannel: “The Finger Band is Coming to Town” (Tune: “Here We Go ‘Round the Mulberry Bush”)
The finger band is coming to town,
Coming to town, coming to town.
The finger band is coming to town
So early in the morning.
This is how they strum their guitar,
Strum their guitar, strum their guitar.
This is how they strum their guitar
So early in the morning.
This is how they play their flute,
Play their flute, play their flute.
This is how they play their flute
So early in the morning.
This is the way they bang the drums,
Bang the drums, bang the drums.
This is the way they bang the drums
So early in the morning.
(Repeat for different instruments, putting each instrument on the flannel board as you go.)
Oh my! Look at the time, the band has played all day. It’s time for them to go!
The finger band is going away,
Going away, going away.
The finger band is going away,
They’ve played all day!
