Washing baby’s back

Way up high in the apple tree

Way up high in the apple tree
I saw a baby smiling at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
And down came the baby
Mmmm it was good

What will we do with the lazy baby

Tune: What will we do with the drunken sailor

What will we do with the lazy baby
What will we do with the lazy baby
What will we do with the lazy baby
Early in the morning

Lie her on her tummy and tickle her all over
Lie her on her tummy and tickle her all over
Lie her on her tummy and tickle her all over
Early in the morning

The Wheels on the bus

The wheels on the bus go round and round (move baby’s leg in a bicycle motion)
Round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All day long

The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish (move baby’s arms side to side)
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish,
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish
All day long

The ladies on the bus bounce up and down (bounce baby)
Up and down, up and down,
The ladies on the bus bounce up and down,
All day long
