1. Open, shut them; open, shut them; Give a little clap. Open, shut them; open, shut them; Lay them in your lap.
2. Creep them, creep them slowly upward To the rosy cheek. Open wide the shining eyes; Through the fingers peek.
3. Open, shut them; open, shut them; To the shoulders fly. Then like little birdies, let them Flutter to the sky.
4. Falling, falling, slowly downward, Nearly to the ground; Quickly raise them, all the fingers, Twirling round and round.
5. Open, shut them; open, shut them; Give a little clap. Open, shut them; open, shut them; Lay them in your lap.
