Herman the Worm

Look for Mr.Al in next months newsletter!

I was sitting on the fence post (slap knees)
I was chewing on my bubble gum (chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp)
Playing with my yo-yo (up and down with hands)
Doo-wop, doo-wop (continue yo-yo motion)

When along came Herman the worm yeah (worm motion with hands)
and he was.....
1 inch (verse 1 ) (measure with hands)
6 inches (verse 2)
1 foot (verse 3)
2 feet (verse 4)

And I said "Herman what happened?"

And Herman said "Duuuuuhhhh, I swallowed a..."
bug in a rug (verse 1)
mouse in the house (verse 2)
kitty cat, imagine that (verse 3)
puppy dog, what a hog (verse 4)

Oh Herman!!!

And Herman just crawled away like this
crawling fingers - verse 1
crawling hand - verse 2
crawling arms & hand - verse 3
whole body - verse 4

Last verse:
And he was three feet...
No, he was two feet...
No, he was 1 inch.

And I said "Herman what happened?"

And Herman said"Duuuhhh, I burped!"
Oh Herman!!!!

This song is available on Mr. Al's Math in Motion.
