Help Me Wind My Ball of Wool
Hold it gently, do not pull.
Wind the wool and wind the wool,
Round and round and round.
…round and round my head
…round and round my ear

I hold it up high

Right hand, left hand,
Roll them around

Here’s a Cup and Here’s a Cup
And here’s a pot of tea.
Pour a cup and pour a cup
And have a drink with me!
