(shake both hands wildly)
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away!
Gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out...
Gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out...
Gotta stretch, stretch, stretch my stretchies out…
Loud and Quiet
Quietly, quietly not a sound
I’m listening and I’m listening as I look around
No sounds as I nod (nod)
No sounds as I clap (clap)
No sounds as I tap my hands on my lap (tap)
But then…
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
Loudly, loudly, stamp and clap (stamp and clap)
All that noise, well fancy that!
Thunderstorm
Boom, bang, boom, bang!
(Clap hands)
Rumpety, lumpety, bump!

Zoom, zam, zoom, zam!
(Swish hands together)
Rustles and bustles

And swishes and zings!
(Wave arms)
What wonderful noises
A thunderstorm brings!
