Lyrics
(African American folk song)
Head shoulders, baby, one two three (repeat)
Head shoulders, head shoulderds, head shoulders,
Head shoulders, baby, one two three
2. Shoulders-chest…
3. Chest-knees…
4. Knees-ankles…
5. Ankles- knees…
6. Knees-chest…
7. Chest-shoulders…
8. Shoulders-head…
9. That’s all…

i can not get the midi to play on my computer, any suggestions?
I have a Mac, and I can play it with Quick Time or Garageband.
