7. Action song: ‘I Had a Little Horsey’ (tune of ‘Tiny Tim’, traditional) adapted from Intellidancing
I had a little horsey who was missing his shoe. I looked and I looked but what could I do?
I looked up high and I looked down low,
But horsey kept galloping just like so.
Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop, clip clop. (spoken) Hold on ‘cause then I said whoa!
