(Tune: “10 Little Indians“)
1 little, 2 little, 3 little hearts
4 little, 5 little, 6 little hearts
7 little, 8 little, 9 little hearts
10 little Valentine hearts!
Skidamarink a dinka dink.
(Put right elbow in left hand and wiggle fingers)
Skidamarink a doo.
(Put left elbow in right hand and wiggle fingers)
I love you.
(Point to eyes, hug yourself, and point to others)
Skidamarink a dinka dink.
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you.
I love you in the morning.
(Make a big circle overhead like the sun)
And in the afternoon.
(Hold arms in circle out in front of you)
I love you in the evening.
(Move arms in circle down)
And underneath the moon.
(Release arms and make another big circle overhead)
Skidamarink a dinka dink.
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you.
Valentine hearts, how many do you see?
Valentine hearts, count them all with me.
One for father, one for mother
One for grandma, too.
One for sister, one for brother,
And here is one for you!
Love is a circle,
Round and round.
Love goes up,
And love comes down.
Love is on the inside,
Trying to get out
Love is whirling and twirling about!
(Tune: “BINGO“)
To show you like your special friends,
Just give them each a heart
H-E-A-R-T
H-E-A-R-T
H-E-A-R-T
Each heart says “I like you!”
(Tune: “Oh, My Darling Clementine”)
February is a short month
28 days or 29.
In the middle is a love-day,
Won’t you be my Valentine?
Oh, my darling,
Oh, my darling,
Oh, my darling, Valentine,
In the middle is a love-day,
Won’t you be my Valentine?
(Tune: “Ten Little Indians“)
One little, two little, three little Valentines,
Four little, five little, six little Valentines,
Seven little, eight little, nine little Valentines,
Lots of love for you!
Toe Knee Chest Nut

Nose Eye love you
That’s what

(Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It“)
If you love me and you know it, clap your hands.
If you love me and you know it, clap your hands.
If you love me and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you love me and you know it, clap your hands.
