"When Animals Get Up In the Morning" (A few years ago, I found a small cloth barn to use with this song. I put little stuffed animals into it and then pull out the animals one by one to sing this song.)
When cows get up in the morning, they always say “Good day.”
When cows get up in the morning, they always say “Good day.”
“Moo! Moo!” this is what they say.
“Moo! Moo! Moo! Moo!” this is what they say.
When cows get up in the morning, they always say “Good day.”
“Moo! Moo!” this is what they say.
“Moo! Moo! Moo! Moo!” this is what they say.
