TWO LITTLE BLACK BIRDS
Two little black birds,
Sitting on a hill. (Hold up two hands, fingers spread)
One named Jack, (Flap fingers on one hand)
One named Jill. (Flap fingers on other hand)
Fly away Jack. (Flap fingers on first hand and bring behind back)
Fly away Jill. (Flap fingers on other hand and bring behind back.)
Come back Jack. (Jack flies back out,)
Come back Jill. (Jill flies out)
Two little black birds, (Hold hands out fingers spread)
Back on the hill. Happy together. Together still.
