JACK-IN-THE-BOX
Tune:  “Frere Jacques”
Jack-in-the box,  Jack-in-the-box,
Squat down low, squat down low,
When I push your handle, when I push your handle,
Up you go, up you go!
                                                Jean Warren

 
WON’T YOU COME OUT?
Jack-in-the-box
You sit so still.  (Close hand with thumb inside)
Won’t you come out?
Yes, I will!  (Pop out thumb)
                                Traditional

JACK-IN-THE-BOX
Jack-in-the-box,  shut up tight.   (Fingers wrapped around the thumb)
Not a breath of air, not a ray of light.  (Have other hand cover over like a lid)
Playing your music without a stop. 
Time to open your lid   (Remove lid hand)
And out you will pop!  (Pop out thumb)
