See my adaptation of that traditional children's game song:

Hey, bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle.
Hey, bob-ah-needle
Oh, where's your home?

Run, bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
Run, bob-ah-needle
Run back home!

Skip, bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
Skip, bob-ah-needle
Skip back home!

Hop etc.

March etc.

[end with]

Sit down, bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
bob-ah-needle
Sit down, bob-ah-needle
Sit down right now!

Directions:
The words are sung in unison. During the singing of the first verse the group of children can sway back and forth or do a simplified bass sounding foot stompin [steppin]movement. Another action word is used in each subsequent verse. The order of the verbs will probably become a fixed for that particular group. Members of the group perform the movement indicated by the action word.
