DANCE LIKE A LADY - The perfect children’s activity song. It tells the children to walk like a turtle or hop like a bunny or dance like a lady. Once they learn this one, they’ll make up their own verses.

LYRICS:
Dance like a lady
Dance like a lady 
Dance like a lady, 
Ting a ling a ling

I’ll give you a golden ring
Give you a bird to sing
Dance like a lady
Ting a ling a ling

Walk like a daddy
Walk like a daddy
Walk like a daddy
Ting a ling a ling

I’ll give you a golden ring
Give you a bird to sing
Walk like a daddy
Ting a ling a ling

Crawl like a baby (etc.)
Walk like a mommy (etc.)
Walk like a turtle (etc.)
Hop like a bunny (etc.)
Dance like a lady (etc.)

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND POINT YOUR FINGER - This is also called 
“The Blood Type Song.”  It teaches that no matter where you look there is someone with the same type blood as you. “England, China or Alaska, Mexico or Madagascar, makes no difference what they are or do, there’s someone with the same type blood as you.” The idea being that nobody is better than anybody else.

LYRICS:
Close your eyes and point your finger
On the map just let it linger
Any place you point your finger to
There's someone with the same type blood as you

England, China, or Alaska
Mexico or Madagascar
Makes no difference what they are or do
There's someone with the same type blood as you

No type of blood is better
No type of blood is best
Each type of blood is just as good
Not better than the rest

In the mountains or in the valleys
Rich hotels or slum-like alleys
Any place you point your finger to
There's someone with the same type blood as you

It may be A or AB (maybe)
It may be B or O (oh!)
Whatever type it may be sir
There's one thing you should know

Nature has no favorite nation
Color, creed or occupation
Any place you point your finger to
There's someone with the same type blood as you
It's true, there's someone with the same type blood as you

Close Your Eyes and Point Your Finger

written by John Zipperer. The title song on the CD about how singing along can make everyone feel better. John has come up with a great sing-along chorus.

LYRICS:

Sing with me, sing with me 
Sing with me tonight
All you gotta do is sing with me and
Everything is gonna be alright

I met a girl, was so sad 
Her love was far away
I said girl whatcha gonna do? 
She said give it one more day (CHO)

(no “I”) Met a man, six feet tall 
Wished for six feet two
I said man whatcha gonna do? 
He said I think I’ll stand by you (CHO)

Some things can seem so bad (So very sad) 
Worst time you ever had (You ever had) 
Then when you look away (You look away…) 
Up pops a better day

I met two girls, one had no home 
This the other could not bear
I said girls whatcha gonna do? 
They said we think we’ll share (CHO)

I met girl, was so sad 
Lost her dancing shoes
I said girl whatcha gonna do? 
She said I think I’ll dance with you 

Dance with me dance with me 
Dance with me tonight
All you gotta do is dance with me and 
Everything is gonna be alright

(REPEAT BRIDGE)

If you’re alone, missing home and 
Feeling something’s wrong
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and
Sing out loud and strong (CHO)
