They run up high and run down low

Shaker Song: “Fruit Salad Salsa” by Laurie Berkner

Here come the mangoes with one hand out
And here come the apples with one hand out
And here come papayas with one hand out
All for the fruit salad salsa

Here come the pineapples
Shake shake shake
Here come the oranges
Shake shake shake
Here come bananas
Go shake shake shake
All for the fruit salad salsa

And then they
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Into the bowl
They
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Into the bowl
And then they
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
Into the bowl
All for the fruit salad salsa

Then all the fruits they go spinning around
Spinning and tumbling and mixing around
Then all the fruits they go spinning around
And everybody goes in
Shake shake shake!
And everybody goes out
Shake shake shake!
And everybody goes in
Shake shake shake!
Oh, all for the fruit salad salsa!

I hear the mangoes say let’s
Eat!
I hear the apples say it’s time to
Eat!
I hear papayas say let’s
Eat!
All for the fruit salad salsa!

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
