Can't Hear the Music?

Robert Baden Powell (or Father Abraham)

Words can be changed to "Father Abraham had many sons, or any variation you would like. For actions, simply move indicated part of the body. After the first verse, start swinging right arm; swing both arms after second verse; swing both arms and right leg after third verse and so on.....

Robert Baden-Powell had many scouts
Many scouts had Robert Baden-Powell.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me tell you what to do...
Right arm.

Robert Baden-Powell had many scouts
Many scouts had Robert Baden-Powell.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me tell you what to do...
Right arm, left arm.

[Continue, adding:
right leg,
left leg,
nod your head,
stick out your tongue,
turn around, sit down.
