Jump To The Sky Lyrics
"Let's do 4 small jumps, listen to the instructions.
Ready 4 3 2 1"
Jump to the front 1 2 3 4
Jump to the side 1 2 3 4
Jump up high 1 2 3 4
Jump to the sky 1 2 3 4
"Let's do small squats 4 3 2 1"
"Crouch down and jump like a frog 4 3 2 1"
Flipperty flop, flipperty flop,
Flipperty flop, I'm a bullfrog.
Flipperty flop, flipperty flop,
Flipperty flop, I'm a bullfrog.
