This song is available on Dr. Jean Feldman's Dr. Jean and Friends.

Mother Goony Bird had 7 chicks.
And 7 chicks had Mother Goony Bird.
And they couldn't swim - NO!
And they couldn't fly - NO!
All they did was go like this - right arm.
(Flap right arm.)

Add left arm . . . right foot . . . left foot . . .
(Add other movements.)
Nod your head . . . turn around, sit down!

   Activities:  Enlarge the animal patterns in this book.  Cut them out of the appropriate color of construction paper for the words used in this song.  Write the color word on each animal, then attach to sticks.  Pass these puppets to the children to hold up as their animal is sung. Let the children make their own stick puppets to go along with the song. Made additional verses for other color words:  donkey  gray; flamingo  pink; sheep- white; goat  tan, etc
