Early in the morning.

Clap, clap, clap his hands,

Clap, clap, clap his hands,

Clap, clap, clap his hands,

Early in the morning.

Tickle, tickle, tickle his tummy,

Tickle, tickle, tickle his tummy,

Tickle, tickle, tickle his tummy,

Early in the morning.

Let’s stroke, stroke, stroke his legs,

Let’s stroke, stroke, stroke his legs,

Let’s stroke, stroke, stroke his legs,

Early in the morning.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle his fingers,

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle his fingers,

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle his fingers,

Early in the morning.
