lyrics

take your partner by the hand
and give a little bow
spin a ring around the rosie
I know you know how
jump up and down like a speckled frog
go bouncin' 'round the room
make some rollin' thunder now
make your feet go crash and boom!
don't forget to bounce around
your bellybutton too!
ring around the rosie
pocket full of posies
ashes ashes ashes
we all fall down
take your partner by the hand
and give a little squeeze
quiver your head and shoulders
and shiver your toes and knees
shake your head no no no
and nod your head yup
eat up all your ice cream
we'll have pickles after supper
raise your glass to the chef
that means put your cup up
ring around the rosie…
cows in the grassy meadow
eating up those butter cups
ashes ashes ashes
we all jump up
take your partner by the hand
and give a little wink
how huge can you grow up
how teeny-tiny can you shrink down
pat-a-cake pat-a-cake bakers man
and pat-a-cake bakers woman
gimme 5 and gimme 10
one more time let's do it again
gimme 5 and gimme 10
do it again and again and again
and again and again and again and
again….
ring around the rosie…
cows in the grassy meadow…
horses in the pasture
nibblin' on some hay
ashes ashes ashes
we all swing and sway
kitty cat on the barn roof
groomin' her glossy coat
ashes ashes ashes
we all rock and row the boat
ducks in a little duck pond
divin' for peanuts
ashes ashes ashes
we all waddle and strut
goats diggin' through the trash heap
chompin' down some junk
ashes ashes ashes
we like funk, a-chicka-ow! chick-achickens
in the hen house
layin' a bunch of eggs
ashes ashes ashes
we all shake an arm and a leg
rooster swaggerin' 'round the barnyard
cockling his doodle doo
ashes ashes ashes
we all say, "I love you!
sheep chillin' in the green fields
shearin' off some fleece
ashes ashes ashes
we all make peace
pigs in a muddy puddle
chowin' down on some slop
ashes ashes ashes
we all just stop!
