Lyrics
Father Abraham had many sons
Many sons had Father Abraham.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me tell you what to do…
Right arm.
(start moving right hand to right shoulder and keep it moving and QUICKLY start the next verse)
Father Abraham had many sons
Many sons had Father Abraham.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me tell you what to do…
Right arm, left arm.
(while still keeping your movements of your body parts from the above verses, add the left hand to the left shoulder and keep it moving and QUICKLY start the next verse)
…… Continue until:
Right arm,
left arm,
right leg,
left leg,
nod your head,
stick out your tongue,
turn around, sit down.
Actions
This MUST be done with EVERYONE standing.
Simply move indicated part of the body. After first verse start swinging right arm, swing both arms after second verse, swing both arms and right leg after third verse and so on…
