Princess Pat
This is an echo song. One or two people lead and the rest of the troop Follows, singing the words and imitating the motions of the leaders.

The Princess Pat Egyptian pose
Lived in a tree. Raise arms in a circlue above your head
She sailed across Wave motion
The seven seas. Hold up 7 fingers, then form the letter "C" with your hand
She sailed across Wave motion
The channel, too. Hands together, swing between legs
And she took with her Hands together, swing to one shoulder, then the other
A rig-a-bam-boo! Holding arms up, shimmy, squat, then come up shimmying

Chorus:
A rig-a-bam-boo! Holding arms up, shimmy, squat, then come up shimmying
Now what is that? Right hand out, palm up, then left hand out, palm up
It's something made Make 2 fists, hit together, left over right, then right over left
By the Princess Pat Egyptian pose
It's red and gold Twirl right hand at hip
And a-purple, too. Twirl left hand at hip
That's why it's called Cup hands around mouth
A rig-a-bam-boo! Holding arms up, shimmy, squat, then come up shimmying

Now Captain Jack Salute right hand to brow, then left hand to brow
Had a mighty fine crew. Pretend to hook thumbs in suspenders and snap
He tried to cross Wave motion
The channel, too. Hands together, swing between legs, some up holding 2 fingers up
His ship did sink Holding nose with one hand, raise other hand, shimmy and squat
And yours will, too Point to someone else
If you don't take Hands together, swing to one shoulder, then the other
A-rig-a-bam-boo! Holding arms up, shimmy, squat, then come up shimmying

Repeat Chorus
