Five Spotted Cows
Five spotted cows standing in line.
The first one said, "I'm feeling fine!"(Point to self)
The second one said, "How do you do?"(Turn to third cow and hold out right hand.)
The third one said, "Moo! Moo! Moo!"(Take second cow's hand and shake it.)
The fourth one said, "I'm grazing in the grass."(Make chewing motion.)
The fifth one said, "I'm full at last!"(Pat tummy.)
So the cows stood together and said,"We're through! Let's take a bow and all say, "MOO!"

So they could give milk, sweet and pure.
Squirt! Squirt!
One left the barn one day,
So she could find more hay.
Then there were 4 cows, black and white.
Moo! Moo!
