My First Song for Loey

Loey is a busy, active little baby. Eating very well, but in between feedings she is a wiggly little package. A few nights ago, I was holding her but she couldn't find a comfortable position. So I got up and walked around with her, bouncing her gently, and she quieted  down right away.

I Like to Move Around, Grandpa

by Steven Feuerstein, copyright 2011

I don't like to sit around in one place.

I like to move around, Grandpa.

Hoist me on your shoulder,

Bounce me on your legs.

I don't like to sit around, Grandpa.

Rock me in your arms,

Rub my belly on your head.

I like to move around, Grandpa.

Move around, move around, 

Move around, move around, 

I like to move around, Grandpa.

Swing me slowly side to side,

Rest me on your shoulder.

I don't like to sit around, Grandpa.

Hang me facing down,

Across your long arms.

I like to move around, Grandpa.

Move around, move around, 

Move around, move around, 

I like to move around, Grandpa.

Later, much later, I can move on my own.

I like to move around, Grandpa.

But now I'm too little and I can't walk.

So you've got to move me 'round, Grandpa.

Move around, move around, 

Move around, move around, 

I like to move around, Grandpa.
