Ten baby kangaroos standing in a row
When they see their mama, they bow just so
(bow)
They kick to the left
(kick to the left)
They kick to the right
(kick to the right)
Then they close their eyes & sleep all night.

*other verses: repeat the poem, going down a number

begin with "Nine baby kangaroos." and so on.

5 baby kangaroos all in a row
(Hold up 5 fingers.)
When they see their mother they kick just so
(Let fingers thrust forward.)
For their mothers they have missed,
(Hold up other hand.)
So they run and give her a great big kiss.
(Wiggle right hand fingers toward left hand and touch
fingertips.)
