The Sneezing Song
Tune: Polly Wally Doodle
When you feel like something’s tickling your nose,
And you really, really, really wanna sneeze.
Don’t hold it back, that’s the way it goes
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze.
Don’t be shy. (Achoo!)
Don’t be shy. (Achoo!)
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze
Wipe your nose. (Achoo!)
Wipe your nose. (Achoo!)
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze.
When you’re sniffing all the flowers and you’re playing in the sun,
And you really, really, really wanna sneeze,
You can cover up your mouth, wash your hands when you’re done
When you really, really, really wanna sneeze.
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor.
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
So, if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.
Activity:
To put this treat together, mix ½ of a cup of pumpkin with ¼ of a cup of cream cheese until smooth. And Add oatmeal until balls can be formed easily.
