Roll Your Hands

Roll your hands so slowly
As slowly as can be
Roll your hands so slowly
And fold them just like me
Roll your hands so quickly
As quickly as can be
Roll your hands so quickly
And fold them just like me
Clap your hands so softly
As softly as can be
Clap your hands so softly
And fold them just like me
Clap your hands so loudly
As loudly as can be
Clap your hands so loudly
And fold them just like me
