There's something in my pocket.
Could it be a moose?
Could it be a train with a bell and a caboose?
Could it be a snake?
Or some sticky glue?
Right here in my pocket is a KISS from me to you.
(blow kiss)
(Sung to: I'm Squishing Up a Baby Bumblebee)
I'm making you a pretty valentine.
(Act out coloring and cutting, etc.)
Won't you say that you will be mine?
I'm making you a pretty valentine.
It's so special!
I'm giving you my pretty valentine.
(Make a heart with hands and hold it out to adult)
Won't you say that you will be mine?
I'm giving you my pretty valentine.
It's so special!
You said that you will be my valentine!
(Hug adult)
I'm so glad you said you will be mine.
You said that you will be my valentine!
Oh, I love you!
