Little hands, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Clap, clap, clap your little hands --
get ready to start the day
Little hips, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Shake, shake, shake your little hips --
get ready to start the day
Little feet, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Twist, twist, twist your little feet --
get ready to start the day
Hands get ready --
Clap, clap, clap,
hips get ready --
Shake, shake, shake
Feet get ready --
Twist, twist, twist,
Are you ready to start the day?
I'm ready!
Little knees, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Tap, tap, tap your little knees --
get ready to start the day
Little arms, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Reach, reach, reach your little arms --
get ready to start the day
Little hands, get ready --
get ready to work and play
Clap, clap, clap your little hands --
get ready to start the day
Knees get ready -- Tap, tap, tap
Arms get ready -- Reach, reach, reach
Hands get ready -- Clap, clap, clap
Are you ready to start the day
I'm ready
