The Shaker Hop
You put your shakers in,
You take your shakers out.
You put your shakers in,
And you shake them all about.
You do the shaker hop and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
--Miss Mollie
Egg Shaker Song
A-Shake shake shake, A-Shake shake shake,
A-Shake shake shake shake - STOP!

shake your egg, shake your egg
If you have a pink egg shake your egg

This Little Cow
This little cow eats grass
This little cow eats hay
This little cow drinks water
This little cow runs away
This little cow lies in the grass all day
Let's tickle, tickle, tickle her until she wants to play.
