Tippy tippy tiptoe see how we go.
Tippy tippy tiptoe to and fro.
Tippy tippy tiptoe through the house.
Tippy tippy tiptoe like a mouse.
This is high and this is low
Only see how much I know.
This is narrow, this is wide,
Something else I know besides.
Up is where the birds fly free,
Down is where my feet should be.
This is my right hand, as you see,
This is my left hand, all agree.
Overhead I raise them high,
Clap 1, 2, 3, and then let them fly.
Follow the words for the actions to this rhyme.
Open them. Shut them.
Open them. Shut them.
Give a little clap.
Open them. Shut them.
Open them. Shut them.
Place them in your lap.
Then creep them, creep them,
Creep them, creep them
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!
