Baby's Hokey Pokey from Baby Face CD by Georgiana Stewart

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)

Bouncing on my Knee

Oh, I'm looking at the baby that I'm bouncing on my knee. (bounce baby)
And it is the cutest baby that I ever want to see!
I'll bounce you left, and bounce you right, (lean to left and right)
I'll bounce you high and low,
And I'll bounce you out of sight (lift baby)

I'm a little cuckoo clock (from Born to Read)
Tick tock, tick tock, (rock baby)
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's one o'clock!
CUCKOO! (lift baby once)

Tick tock, tick tock,
I'm a little cuckoo clock!
Tick tock, tick tock,
It's two o'clock!
CUCKOO! CUCKOO! (lift baby twice) 

Wheels on the Bus

Literacy tip of the Week: When you read to your baby they will enjoy snuggling up with you and hearing the story. This helps promote positive associations with books early on.
