Five little men in a flying saucer, flew around the world one day, they looked left and right but they didn’t like the sight so one man flew away! Wooosh!
Four little men in a flying saucer, flew around the world one day, they looked left and right but they didn’t like the sight so one man flew away! Wooosh! Three … Two … One … Whoosh!
For under 1s: place your baby on your lap and every time there is a woosh! In the song, fly your baby up in the air. Enjoy!
