Little Heart
I have a little heart (place hand over heart)
And it goes thump, thump, thump (pat chest three times)
It keeps right on beating
When I jump, jump, jump (jump three times)
I get a special feeling
When I look at you (point to child)
It make me want to give you
A kiss or two (blow kisses)
Skidamarink
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
I love you in the morning
And in the afternoon,
I love you in the evening
And underneath the moon;
Oh, Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you!

Then your face will surely show it.
If you love me and you know it, Clap your hands.
