The Bath Time Pokey
(English translation by Paola Ferate-Soto.Tell the children that the water is a bit cold and
you don’t know if you really want to get into the tub. Then follow the actions of the song,
pretending that you are having second thoughts every time you introduce a new body part
into the tub.)
You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in
And you shake it all about.
You do the bath time pokey,
And you scrub that hand clean.
That's what it's all about!
You put your left hand in,
You put your left hand out …
You put your right leg in,
You put your right leg out …
You put your left leg in,
You put your left leg out …
You put your right side in,
You put your right side out…
You put your left side in,
You put your left side out …
You put your whole self in,
You put your whole self out,
You put your whole self in
And you shake it all about.
You do the bath time pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
