Can you hide your eyes
Tune: “Farmer in the dell”

Criss Cross Apple Sauce
Criss cross, (Make cross on baby's back)
Apple sauce, (Pat shoulders in time with syllables)
Spider crawling up your back. (Tickle up baby's back)
Tight squeeze (Give baby a hug)
Cool breeze (Blow on neck)
And now you've got the shivers. (Tickle baby all over)

(sway left and right and front)

KERPLOP!
(dip baby between legs)
