Flying Babies
I'm a little baby and I fly high (lift baby and swing through the air).

I'm a baby and I fly high! (lift baby)

Baby Goes Bouncy Boo from Jbrary
Baby goes bouncy boo, (bounce baby on knees)
Baby goes bouncy by,
Baby goes bouncy be,
All upon my knee.

I'll bounce you to the left, (bounce to the left)
I'll bounce you to the right, (bounce to the right)
I'll bounce you up, (lift baby)
I'll bounce you down, (bring baby down)
I'll bounce you out of sight. (lift baby)

Baby goes bouncy boo, (bounce baby on knees)
Baby goes bouncy by,
Baby goes bouncy be,
All upon my knee.

I'll bounce you very fast, (bounce quickly)
I'll bounce you very slow, (slow down)
I'll bounce you up,
I'll bounce you down,
Then far back we go! (lean back)

And I'll bounce you out of sight (lift baby)

The Elevator Song (done with parachute, from Jbrary)
Oh the city is great and the city is grand.
There's a whole lot of people on a little piece of land.
And we live way up on the 57th floor.
This is what we do when we go out the door:
We take the elevator up and the elevator down.
We take the elevator up and the elevator down.
And we turn around.
