Sing for Joy ‎#100

100. Mitten Song

1 "Thumbs in the thumb-place
Fingers all together!"
This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather.

2 When it is cold,
It doesn't matter whether
Mittens are wool,
Or made of finest leather.

3 This is the song
We sing in mitten-weather:
"Thumbs in the thumb-place,
Fingers all together!"
