ï¿½The Hokey Cokey� (UK), "The Hokey Pokey", (USA)

Dear Aline 73,

You will find a video of the Hokey Cokey dance here , sung by a group of German children, (singing it in English).  I am sure many Classes sing and dance  to similar videos of this song, such as this one.  In the UK, adults sing and dance the Hokey Cokey at parties.

You will find the Hokey Cokey words at this link, now , but I imagine that Teachers in Class change the words, to suit the vocabulary being taught to the children, and sing the new words and dance the new actions in Class, without musical accompaniment.

Sadly, I don�t teach children in College, but I was just musing about DAILY ROUTINES, when the following words for a similar Song, with Dance Actions, came into my head.

�I lie in bed; I�m fast asleep;

I poke my nose out; and I take a peep;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and I Turn Around;

That �s what it �s all about:

Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Knees Bend, Arms Stretch,

Rah! Rah! Rah!�

�The clock strikes eight; I get a fright;

I sit up straight; and I switch on the light;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I�m out of bed; my undies on;

I stretch my arms; and then I have a yawn;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

"I brush my teeth; I wash my face;

I put my clothes on; and I pack my case;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I leave my room; go down the stair;

�I go to breakfast; I sit on a chair;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I drink my milk; I eat my food;

I lick the plate because it tastes so good;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I leave my home; I heave a sigh;

I kiss my loved ones and I wave �Bye Bye�;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I go to school; push wide the gate;

I�m not a fool so I am never late;

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�I enter class; a lovely day;

I think what splendid things I�ll learn today:

I Do the Hokey Cokey and etc.�

�So don�t go East; and don�t go West;

And don�t  go North or South �cause our School�s BEST.

Our teacher makes our Learning Fun; so we all shout;

That�s what it�s all about!

 Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Oh, Hokey Cokey Cokey,

Knees Bend, Arms Stretch,

Rah! Rah! Rah!�

As I say, these words were written purely for my own amusement!
