Ten Little Fingers

I have ten little fingers (hold up all ten fingers)
And they all belong to me (point to self)
I can make them do things
Would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight (make fists)
I can open them wide (extend fingers)
I can put them all together (clasp hands)
And I can make them all hide (hide hands behind back)

I can put them go high (reach hands above head)
I can put them go low (touch floor with hands)
I can fold them together (clasp hands and intertwine fingers)
And place them just so (place hands in lap)
