Dance and Movement Tips
· At the start of the song, children are encouraged to get as uninhibited as they can. They dance their own dance as fast as they can where they stand. Then they "STOP" and "PUT IT ON HOLD." While they're "waiting" during the song, they fold their hands and tap their toes or fingers to the "tick, tock" music.

Lyrics:

I go fast, fast, fast. Fast, fast, fast is the way I go,
And then I stop!
Put it on hold. I've got self-control.

I go slow, slow, slow.
Slow, slow, slow is the way I go,
And then I stop!
Put it on hold. I've got self-control.

I can wait my turn in line.
(Wait,wait,wait another minute
Just another minute with nothing else in it).
Until its my turn to go.
Wait,wait,wait. Five, six, seven, eight.
And when it's my turn to go,

You know that I go fast, fast, fast.
Fast, fast, fast is the way I go,
And then I stop!
Put it on hold. I've got self-control.
