My Fingers Song

(To the Tune of the Mulberry Bush)

This is the way my fingers play

fingers play, fingers play

 This is the way my fingers play

so early in the morning

This is the way my fingers sleep

This is the way my fingers sleep

so early in the morning

This is the way my fingers wave

fingers wave, fingers wave

this is the way my fingers wave

so early in the morning

We reach up to the sky

We're getting lots of exercise

We reach up to the sky
