Gerda and the Reindeer by Edmund Dulac, 1911 |
The first one said, "Ring me slow." (Move thumb slowly)
The second one said, "Ring me fast." (Wiggle index finger)
The third one said, "Ring me last." (Move middle finger)
The fourth one said, "I'm like a chime." (Move ring finger)
The fifth one said, "Ring us all. It's holiday time!" (Wiggle all five fingers)
The first one said, "Let’s go and go and go!"
The second one said, "I see snowflakes in the air."
The third one said, "The elves won’t care.
The fourth one said, "Aren’t holiday’s fun!"
The fifth one said, "Let’s run and run and run!"
One jumped off and ran away. (move hand over)
Mama called Frosty and Frosty said (hand to ear)
They all jumped off and ran away.
You put your antlers in, and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Pokey, and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your red nose in....
You put your fluffy tail in...
You put your reindeer body in...
There's a little elf sitting on my nose,
There's a little elf sitting on my nose.
He is sitting on my nose,
Then off away he goes.
Now there's no little elf on my nose.
There's a little elf sitting on my knee.
He is sitting on my knee,
Now there's no little elf on my knee.
There's a little elf sitting on my head,
There's a little elf sitting on my head.
He is sitting on my head,
Then away he goes to bed.
Now there's no little elf on my head.
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
