Three red candles
In a row.
One, two, three,
BLOW!
There are three more verses:
The biscuits (or cookies) are up too high ("One, two, three, SIGH!").
Tigers are on the prowl ("One, two, three, GROWL!")
And monsters appear in a dream ("One, two, three, SCREAM!")
I think of this rhyme as the next step up from something like Let's Make a Noise. It invites everyone to participate by asking them to count and to make a specific sound, and provided you can come up with more rhyming words, you can adapt it however you like. I obviously have not posted the full text here because it is copyrighted, but if you can't find the book, feel free to email me, and I will be happy to share.
