Bean Bag Body Song Lyrics

Put the bean bag on your head.
Hold it here… don’t let it fall.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your toes.
Hold it here… wiggle them all.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your hips.
Hold it here… give a little twist.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your knees.
Hold it here… freeze like this!
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your elbow.
Hold it here… make it stay.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on the floor.
Hold it here… then step away.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your hand.
Hold it here… like a little plate.
Hold, hold, hold

Put the bean bag on your shoulder.
Hold it here… you’re doing great!
Hold, hold, hold

Now toss it high…
Catch if you can!
You did the moves—
Let’s do a deep breath!
