about

This is secretly my all-time favorite song to sing and play for children. They get so involved and the song tells them what to do in the chorus. In the verse I ask children to roll their hands around each other to make the waterwheel. Toward the end of the song I encourage kids to really stretch and jump as high as they can. It’s great for exercise and coordination and is even more fun if you join in too

lyrics

Oh the rockabilly waterwheel’s been spinning in the creek
Spinning all day, spinning all week
It’s such a lot of fun to spin the whole day through
And you can be a rockabilly waterwheel too


Put your hands in the air
Now spin round and round
Jump up, jump up
Bend down and touch the ground
Put your toes to the left
Toes to the right
Oh the rockabilly waterwheel
Song is out of sight

Oh the rockabilly waterwheel’s been spinning round and round
And bringing lots of what to the people in the town
So they can have a big drink the whole day through
And you can be a rockabilly waterwheel too.
