Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes with an MP3 Recording
January 10th, 2007

Dale Durdunas used to sing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes to her preschool class. First she’d sing it normally. Then she’d sing it very fast, and then very slowly. That’s how she sang it for us in this recording. You can click the link below to hear Dale singing. The lyrics are below the link.

Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

    Hi, me and my friend just happened to find this website and a finnish version of this song didn’t catch our eyes, so we thought that we should put it here….

    Pää, olkapää, peppu, polvet, varpaat, polvet, varpaat
    Pää, olkapää, peppu, polvet, varpaat, polvet, varpaat
    Silmät, korvat ja vatsaa taputa
    Pää, olkapää, peppu, polvet, varpaat, polvet, varpaat

    And in English it means…

    Head, shoulder, bottom, knees, toes, knees, toes
    Head, shoulder, bottom, knees, toes, knees, toes
    Eyes, ears and pat your stomach
    Head, shoulder, bottom, knees, toes, knees, toes

    Finnish isn’t really known aboard, but our language really is beautiful – and very difficult! Letter ä sounds kind of like a in the word cat or bat or rat etc. but it’s pronounced even clearlier and stronger.

    I hope this helps, even though I’m little bit late. Greetings from Finland!

    In welsh, I was taught it’s nose and mouth rather than mouth and nose to fit in with the tune.
