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.
