Special Me
(Tune: Twinkle, twinkle little star)
Special, special, special me
How I wonder what I'll be
In this big world I can be
Anything I want to be
Special, special, special me
How I wonder what I'll be

Runaway
I have two eyes to see with
I have two feet to run
I have two hands to wave with
And nose I have but one

I have two ears to hear with
And a tongue to say Good-Day
And two red cheeks for you to kiss
And now I'll run away.

Head and Shoulders
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes.

Or try this version of Head and Shoulders

(sung to London Bridges)

Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes,
Knees and toes,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes,
It's my body

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Mouth and nose,
Mouth and nose,
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
It's my body

Ankles, elbows, feet and seat,
Feet and seat,
Feet and seat,
Ankles, elbows, feet and seat,
It's my body
