Herman, the Family Pet Song

The Tune:

One fine day as I was
Skipping home from school,
Skipping home from school,
Skipping home from school.
There was my mother, [snap,snap]
And there was father, [snap,snap]
And there was sister, [snap,snap]
And there was brother, [snap,snap]
And there was Herman, [snap,snap]
The family pet, [snap,snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands 3 inches apart)

One fine day as I was ...
There was my mother, [snap,snap]
And there was father, [snap,snap]
And there was sister, [snap,snap]
But where's my brother?
It makes me soooooo mad! (Stomp feet)
And there was Herman, [snap, snap]
The family pet, [snap, snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands 1 foot apart)

One fine day as I was ...
There was my mother, [snap,snap]
And there was father, [snap,snap]
But where's my sister?
It makes me soooooo mad!
And there was Herman, [snap, snap]
The family pet, [snap, snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands 2 feet apart)

One fine day as I was ...
There was my mother, [snap,snap]
But where's my father?
It makes me soooooo mad!
And there was Herman, [snap, snap]
The family pet, [snap, snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands 4 feet apart)

One fine day as I was ...
Where's my mother?
It makes me soooooo mad!
And there was Herman, [snap, snap]
The family pet, [snap, snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands as far apart as possible)

One fine day as I was
Skipping home from school,
Skipping home from school,
Skipping home from school.
There was Herman, the family pet.
And Herman went "BRAAACK" (Barf Sound)
And, there was my mother, [snap, snap]
And there was father, [snap, snap]
And there was sister, [snap, snap]
And there was brother, [snap, snap]
And there was Herman, [snap, snap]
The family pet, [snap, snap]
And he was this big. (hold hands 3 inches apart)
