It's cleanup time in the preschool now
It's time for girls and boys
to stop what they are doing now
and put away their toys

Teacher: Where is ______? Where is ______?
Child: Here I am, Here I am.

If your want to hear a book please sit down.

If you're ready for a story find a seat
If you're ready for a story find a seat

If you're ready for a story find a seat.

===============================================

I have ten little fingers and they all belong to me
I can make them do things, would you like to see?
I can shut them up tight or open them wide.
I can put them together or make them all hide.
I can make them jump high, I can make them jump low.
I can fold them quietly hold them just so.
