The Grand Old Captain Kirk

I found this awesome variation of "The Grand Old Duke of York" while looking for movement rhymes on the scoutsongs.com website. It is never too early to indoctrinate your baby into geekiness! Here is my adaptation for baby storytime:

Oh, the grand old Captain Kirk

bounce to rhythm

He had ten thousand men

He beamed them up to the Enterprise

lift baby up

Then he beamed them down again

bring back down
And when they were up, they were up

lift baby up 

And when they were down, they were down

bring back down

And when they were only halfway up,

hug

They were nowhere to be found.

spin in circle
insert joke about "redshirts"

This rhyme reminds me of my most prized possesion, this shirt:
