Rags
(Corbett/ The Playtime Treasury)
I have a dog and his name is Rags,
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip-flop, [move head side to side]
And his tail wig-wags, [shake bottom]
And when he walks he goes zig zag.
[move in zig, zag pattern]
He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag. [repeat motions]
He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag. [repeat motions]
He goes flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag. [repeat motions]
I love Rags and he loves me.
