Way Up In The Sky
Song of the Month · 2019
Downloads
I learned this song at summer camp. The great thing about camp songs, is they are meant to be sung together. And they are often great for a variety of ages. I now sing this with infants up to age ten. The large motions engage babies and are fun for older kids to do with exaggeration. With babies I sing quietly and slowly , as in the recording. With older kids it can be very silly as you make your voice louder and softer. You can really put your personality into it!
Lyrics
The little birds fly
Way down in the nest
The little birds rest
With a wing on the left
And a wing on the right
The little birds sleep
All through the night
(Spoken) Shhh------, They're sleeping!
The bright sun comes out
The dew falls away
"Good morning, good morning," the little birds say
