Lyrics:
(Place one hand in air palm up as the bowl, and 5 fingers on top as the berries)
Five juicy berries sitting in a bowl
The Blackberry fell out (move “berries” hand out of “bowl” hand)
Woop! And it started to roll (roll arms)
It rolled to the North (roll arms up)
And it rolled to the South (roll arms down)
It just kept rolling till I popped it in my mouth (pretend to pop in mouth and chew)
—————
(Place one hand in air palm up as the bowl, and 4 fingers on top as the berries)
Four juicy berries sitting in a bowl
The Raspberry fell out (move “berries” hand out of “bowl” hand)
Woop! And it started to roll (roll arms)
It rolled to the North (roll arms up)
And it rolled to the South (roll arms down)
It just kept rolling till I popped it in my mouth (pretend to pop in mouth and chew)
—————
(Place one hand in air palm up as the bowl, and 3 fingers on top as the berries)
Three juicy berries sitting in a bowl
The Blueberry fell out (move “berries” hand out of “bowl” hand)
Woop! And it started to roll (roll arms)
It rolled to the North (roll arms up)
And it rolled to the South (roll arms down)
It just kept rolling till I popped it in my mouth (pretend to pop in mouth and chew)
—————
(Place one hand in air palm up as the bowl, and 3 fingers on top as the berries)
Two juicy berries sitting in a bowl
The Gooseberry fell out (move “berries” hand out of “bowl” hand)
Woop! And it started to roll (roll arms)
It rolled to the North (roll arms up)
And it rolled to the South (roll arms down)
It just kept rolling till I popped it in my mouth (pretend to pop in mouth and chew)
—————
(Place one hand in air palm up as the bowl, and 3 fingers on top as the berries)
One juicy berry sitting in a bowl
The Strawberry fell out (move “berries” hand out of “bowl” hand)
Woop! And it started to roll (roll arms)
It rolled to the North (roll arms up)
And it rolled to the South (roll arms down)
It just kept rolling till I popped it in my mouth (pretend to pop in mouth and chew)
