about

* I wanted to write a song about Simon Says but thought it would be more fun to update the game a bit, Joanie Style!
Parents/Teachers- Follow along to the lyrics and have fun!

lyrics

You may have played this game before but it has had an upgrade.
So every girl, and every boy, let’s try a brand new way.
Simon’s on vacation now I’m in charge so do exactly what I say.
But only when I say: “Joanie says”.

Joanie says: Put your hands on your head.
Joanie says: lift up one leg.
Joanie says: Put your hand on your nose.
Joanie says: Reach down and touch your toes.
Now clap your hands! Oh no, I didn’t say “Joanie Says”.

Joanie says spin around and around.
Joanie says stomp your feet on the ground.
Joanie says reach up high to the trees.
Joanie says pat your knees.
Now make a silly face! Oh no, I didn’t say “Joanie Says”.

Joanie says a jump a jump a jump a jump.
Joanie says a march a march a march a march.
Joanie says a twist a twist a twist a twist- NOW STOP!
Ah ah, I didn’t say Joanie says.

Joanie says scratch your back with one hand.
Joanie says stand as tall as you can.
Joanie says smile with you lips.
Joanie says shake a shake your hips.
Now sit on the ground! Oh NO, I didn’t say “Joanie Says”.
