I'm a Little Robot
Tune: I"m a little teapot

I feel great.
When I touch my legs,
I walk real straight.

When I touch my shoulders,
I spin around.
And when I touch my nose,
I sit on the ground.

The Lights on the Robots
Original Author unknown
(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The lights on the robot
blink on and off,
on and off, on and off.
The lights on the robot
blink on and off,
all around the rocket ship.

The arms on the robot go up and down
The dials on the robot turn left and right
The legs on the robot go up and down
The feet on the robot go clickity clack
The power on the robot powers down
