Line Up Chant

3, 4 Face the door
5, 6 Fingers on lips
7, 8 Line up straight
9, 10 Let's begin.
*****
Tune: Doo Wah Ditty
Here we go just a walking down the hall
Singing doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty do
We're so quiet when we're walking down the hall
Singing doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty do
We LOOK GOOD (look good)
LOOK FINE (look fine)
See us walking in a line
Singing doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty do,
doo wah ditty ditty dum ditty do!
*****
Tune: Gilligan's Island
My hands are tight behind my back
I am standing very tall
I am quietly looking straight ahead
I am ready for the hall!
*****
Another Poem Version:
My hands are resting by my sides,
I'm standing straight and tall.
My eyes are front; my lips are zipped,
I'm ready for the hall.

The Line Up Poem
I will not shove,
I will not push,
I will not try to pass.
I will not stay behind the rest,
I'll line up with my class.
*****
Hands down,
Turn around,
Face the door,
And say no more.
*****
Tune: Oh Susanna
When it's time to get in line I stand so straight and tall.
My arms are right down by my side; I never move them at all.
My head is facing forward,
My eyes look straight ahead.
My lips are closed,
My ears are open, listening to what's said!
