I’ve Got A Cold
from SurLaLune Storytime
I’ve got a gold point to yourself
My nose can’t smell. point to your nose
My eyes are red, point to your eyes
I don’t feel well. put your hand on your forehead
So, I’ll dringk my juice, pretend to drink
And go to bed. fold hands under your head
My nose feels better, point to nose
And so does my head! point to head
