Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose

So he flipped it and he flopped it till the fly flew away

Floppy ears and curly whiskers

Floppy ears and curly whiskers

Floppy ears and curly whiskers

And he flipped it and he flopped it till the fly flew away

Try singing it again but miss out some of the action words like rabbit or nose.

Can you come up with some actions of your own?

Make up some words of your own!
