PICK IT UP, UP, UP - by Amy Skelton Otey  © 2004
 
So, do you think if we made clean up fun, we might like it better?
Let's play a game.

We'll start out slowly and the faster we go, the faster we clean up.
Now remember, a place for everything and everything in its place,
That way when we want to play with it again, we'll know where it is.
Okay, are you ready?

If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Very good, now faster

If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Okay, let's mix it up a bit.
When I sing slowly, you move slowly while picking up.
Then when I sing fast, you move fast and pick up fast.

If you used it, pick it up, up, up.
Played with it, pick it up, up, up.
If you're done now, pick it up, up, up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
