Grand Old Duke of York (from Perry Public Library)
Oh, the Grand Old Duke of York, (bounce baby)
He had ten thousand men.
He marched them up to the top of the hill, (lift baby)
And he marched them down again. (bring baby down)
And when they're up, they're up, (lift baby)
And when they're down, they're down, (bring baby down)
And when they're only halfway up, (bring baby halfway up)
They're neither up nor down. (lift baby down then up)

And this is baby's nose, (touch nose)
And this is baby's bellybutton, (tickle tummy)
Right where Mommy blows! (blow raspberry on baby's tummy)
Bumpin' up and down (from Deschutes Library)
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon, (bounce baby)
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon,
Bumpin' up and down in my little red wagon,
Won't you be my darlin'?
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to left)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to right)
One wheel's off and the axle's broken, (tilt baby to the left)
Won't you be my darlin'?
