(Folk song)
Hands on my head, what have we here?
This is my head thinker my teacher* dear,
Head thinker, head thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
Hands on my eyes, what have we here?
These are my eye blinkers my teacher dear,
Eye blinkers, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
Hands on my chin, what have we here?
These are my chin-wagger, my teacher dear,
Chin-wagger, eye-blinker, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
Hands on my chest, what have we here?
This is my chest-cougher my teacher dear,
Chest-cougher, chin-wagger, eye-blinker, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
Hands on my waist, what have we here?
This is my waist-spinner my teacher dear,
Waist-spinner, chest-cougher, chin-wagger, eye-blinker, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
Hands on my knees, what have we here?
These are my knee-knockers my teacher dear,
Knee-knockers, waist-spinner, chest-cougher, chin-wagger, eye-blinker, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school
With my hands on my toes, what have we here?
These are my toe-tappers my teacher dear,
Toe tappers, nee-knockers, waist-spinner, chest-cougher, chin-wagger, eye-blinker, head-thinker, nicky nacky nocky noo,
That’s what they taught me when I went to school!
