LYRICS:
1) Hands are fine, you know they're working all the time,
Can do a million things.
Open up a door, scrub a dirty floor,
And even wear your rings.
Soothe a crying child, nails to be filed,
Just to make them look good.
If you take karate, they'll break a piece of concrete,
Or a piece of wood.
Chorus 1:
But, in hot dishwater, they'll cry,
"Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo."
One, two, ready sing.
2) Hands can clap, fingers they can snap,
Or you can scratch yourself.
Wave goodbye, or reach up high,
To the very to shelf.
Catch a ball, sustain a fall,
Can stop you just in time,
Or if you're finger painting, they'll get covered in gook,
And don't if feel just fine.
Chorus 2:
But in snowy cold winter, they'll cry,
C-c-c-c-cold, c-c-c-c-cold, c-c-c-c-cold.
One, two ready sing.
3) Hands are fine, you know they're working all the time,
Can do a million things.
Repot plants, hoist up your pants,
Or tie knots in strings.
Play a guitar, help steer a car,
With some aid from your eyes.
Or if you've got the munchies,
They'll peel potatoes and cut up home fries.
Chorus 3:
But if they get stepped on, they'll cry,
Ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow!

I AM A FINE MUSICIAN
1) I am a fine musician, I practice everyday.
And people come from miles around,
Just to hear me play.
My drums, my drums, hear me play my drums.
2) I am a fine musician, and I get lots of pay,
When I play my bass guitar,
Then people run my way.
My bass guitar, my bass guitar, hear me play my bass guitar.
3) I am a fine musician, that's what the people say,
And all the children follow me,
When they hear me play.
My piano, piano, hear me play my piano.
4) I am a fine musician, I practice everyday.
And people come from miles around,
Just to hear me play.
My guitar, my guitar, hear me play my guitar.
5) We all are fine musicians, we love to sing and play,
And if you'd like to join us,
Come on and walk this way.
Come join us, come join us, everyone come join us.

SING A SONG
by Karen Winskell & John Winskell
When I'm all by myself,
I like to sing this little song,
It's very easy just to do,
You can sing, too.
Doot-doodle-loot-doodle-loo-do.
Doot-doodle-loot-doodle-loo-do.
Doot-doodle-loot-doodle-loo-do.
Do-do-do.

WORDS OF THE CHANT:
I went upstairs to make my bed,
I made a mistake and I bumped my head.
Just a-jumping this rope, just a-jumping this rope,
Just a-jumping this rope today.
Just a-jumping this rope, just a-jumping this rope,
Just a-jumping this rope today.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow never comes,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow always runs.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow never comes,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow always runs.
