In each verse you will hear three words that rhyme. Move a part of your body that also rhymes with these

Rub a part of your body that rhymes with rack
Rhymes with sack, rhymes with tack
.....Everybody rub your back
Wiggle a part that rhymes with rung,
Rhymes with young, rhymes with sung
.....Everybody wiggle your tongue
Walk on parts that rhyme rose
Rhyme with nose, rhyme with close
.....Everybody walk on your toes
Wrinkle a part that rhymes with pace
Rhymes with ace, rhymes with trace
.....Everyone make a funny face!
Chorus:
We're the Rhyme Time Band
The prime time sound in all the land
We're the Rhyme Time Band
Come on and join the fun!
Tense and relax some parts that rhyme rustles
Rhyme with tussles, rhyme with hustles
.....Tense and relax your muscles
Feel something beating that rhymes with cart
Rhymes with dart, rhymes with start
.....Everybody feel your heart
Click some parts that rhyme with wreath
Rhymes with heath, rhymes with Keith,
.....Everybody click your teeth
Hop on a part that rhymes with put
Rhymes with soot, rhymes with (sing) doot, doot, doot, doot, doot
.....Everybody hop on your foot
Repeat Chorus
