Children love this very simple song because it is in a minor key. Simply start rolling your hands, and keep rolling them, following the directions in the lyrics. Be prepared to sing it several times in a row. Although I keep the tempo the same in the recorded version , you can slow down and speed up the song if you're singing it without the recording. If you sing with the recording, just double up or half the rolls you do to match the lyrics. I also sway in time to the music when I'm singing it with the children. Note: Children's songs in minor keys are hard to find, and always loved. They give songs a sad, haunting, or even scary sound that children are universally drawn to. The Ants Go Marching (traditional), and Fly Little Bird two other songs in minor keys. Try singing them with your children! Circle Round round,
