Open, Shut Them
Open, Shut Them
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.
