Up and down go once again go! Up and down go once again go down!
Let's take hands and form a circle, hand in hand we stand. Now we all belong together till the circle ends. Now we all belong together till the circle ends.
Stretch your arms right up to heaven, look up to the sky. What a fine day! See the sunshine twinkle in your eye. What a fine day! See the sunshine twinkle in your eye.
Let's run crisscross in confusion all across the room. Find again your place and stand still, listen to the tune. Find again your place and stand still, listen to the tune.
Now we're spinning like a pegtop, spinning round and round, Spinning slow or spinning fast, we're whirling off the ground. Spinning slow or spinning fast, we're whirling off the ground.
As we jump now high and higher, open up your heart! We will soon begin to fly 'cause this is a good start. We will soon begin to fly 'cause this is a good start.
Now we stamp our feet in time and now we clap our hands. Hear us singing, stamping, clapping all over the land. Hear us singing, stamping, clapping all over the land.
Now we get down on all fours, just see what happens then Crawling, singing as we crawl the song begins again. Crawling, singing as we crawl the song begins again.
Let's take hands and form a circle, hand in hand we stand. And we still belong together when the circle ends. And we still belong together when the circle ends.
(Instructions to play: Everybody moves as the lyrics say. The song works very well as a "wake-up"-song! You can sing the chorus every
second verse if you like or drop it completely. Of course you can sing only some of the verses. For example just one or two every morning, or you make up your own verses!)
