Song: Baby Hop (Tune: “Bunny Hop”)
Snuggle up together
Baby’s in your lap
Snuggle up together and clap, clap, clap

Snuggle up together
Baby don’t you nap
Snuggle up together and tap, tap, tap

You’re working out together
Baby don’t stop
You’re working out together now hop, hop, hop

Balloon goes up (lift)
Balloon goes down (lap)
Balloon goes up to reach the clouds (lift high)

Made it home, safe and sound (hug and kiss)
