- Oh, my aunt came back,
- From Holland too,
- And she brought with her,
- A wooden shoe.
(Action: Stamping your foot on the word 'shoe'
and keep stamping)
- Oh my aunt came back,
- From Old Japan,
- And she brought with her,
- A waving fan.
(Action: Wave fan and continue to stamp foot)
- Oh my aunt came back,
- From Open Plain,
- And she brought with her,
- A walking came.
(Action: Hold cane and move both feet while continuing
the fan and the stamp)
