Flannel Rhyme: The Finger Band
I put up pictures of each instrument as we got to them…
The finger band is coming to town
Coming to town, coming to town
The finger band is coming to town
So early in the morning
This is how they play the piano,
play the piano, play the piano
This is how they play the piano
So early in the morning.
This is how they play their flute,
Play their flute, play their flute.
This is how they play their flute
So early in the morning.
This is the way they bang the drums,
Bang the drums, bang the drums.
This is the way they bang the drums
So early in the morning.
This is the way they play the trumpet,
Play the trumpet, play the trumpet.
This is the way they play the trumpet
so early in the morning!
Oh my look at the time, the band has played all day. It’s time for them to go!
The finger band is going away
Going away, going away
The finger band is going away
They’ve played all day

Shaker Song
Shake Your Shakers
Shake your shaker in the air,
Shake it here, shake it there.
Shake your shaker in the air,
Shake your shaker.
Shake it high and shake it low,
Shake it yes, shake it no.
Shake it high and shake it low,
Shake your shaker.
Shake it up and shake it down,
Tap your shaker on the ground.
Shake it up and shake it down,
Shake your shaker.
Shake it near and shake it far,
Drive your shaker like a car.
Shake it near and shake it far,
Shake your shaker.
Shake it fast and shake it slow,
Shake it stop, shake it go.
Shake it fast and shake it slow,
Shake your shaker.
