This is Mama, kind and gentle,
Loving all the children dear.
This is Papa, strong and faithful,
His bright smile is full of cheer.
This is brother, full of mischief,
Growing up so straight and tall.
This is sister, always happy,
Playing with her fav'rite doll.
This wee finger is the baby,
Dearest, sweetest, best of all.
Here you see the happy family,
(Hold up thumb)
Loving all the children dear.
This is Papa, strong and faithful,
(Hold up pointer finger)
His bright smile is full of cheer.
This is brother, full of mischief,
(Hold up middle finger)
Growing up so straight and tall.
This is sister, always happy,
(Hold up ring finger)
Playing with her fav'rite doll.
This wee finger is the baby,
(Hold up pinkie finger)
Dearest, sweetest, best of all.
Here you see the happy family,
(Hold up all five fingers)
All its members great and small.
