Answer 3

I made up a song to the tune of the Itsey Bitsey Spider called the Itty Bitty Kitty
The itty bitty kitty cat went out to find a mouse Hands moving like a cat walking)
Up goes her tail when she wants to pounce (hands waving upward like a cat tail)
off goes the mousey far, far away ( fingers running away)
Said the itty bitty kitty cat (back to the cat walking hands)
"I just want to play"
