Hi All
Hope you can help me. I am trying to find the lyrics to a song that I used to sing with my son and his cub scout troop but I can't find them anywhere. All I can remember about it is that you ended up sticking your tongue out at the end, with your knees together, elbows together as well as other body parts but I can't remember the rest of it. Can anyone help? I would like to sing this with the children in the 3 to 5 room that I currently work in. I think they would get a real laugh out of it, especially when I do the actions as well!
Thanks in advance for your help.

I thought it could be from the song "Father Abraham Had Many Sons"... But it doesn't include the actions of sticking your tongue out... I did come across this song as well...

We're singing in the rain, just singing in the rain.
What a glorious feeling, we're happy again.

Thumbs up! [Group echoes.]
A-root-ta-ta, root-ta-ta. root-ta-ta-TA

Add each of the following, in turn:
Thumbs Up
Arms Out
Elbows In
Knees Bent
Knees together
Toes together
Butt out
Chest out
Head Back
Tongue out

Does this sound familiar?

Thanks LA. That is spot on! I can't wait to try it next week with the kids!

Thank you for reminding me of "Father Abraham Had Many Sons"! I used to love it as a kid and I have now introduced this song to my LO.
