Whisky, Frisky, Hippity Hop
Whisky, frisky, hippity hop.
Up he goes to the tree top.
(both hands climbing motions up a tree)
Whirly, twirly, round and round,
(Wave arms above head in circle motions)
Down he scampers to the ground.
(hands make a circle motion down)
Furly, curly, what a tail,
(wave hand for tail)
Tall as a feather, broad as a sail.
(Hand goes up spread fingers out wide)
Where's his supper? In the shell.
(hold hands palms together, closed like a nut)
Snappy, cracky, out it fell.
(Open hands wide)!
