| "Wide-eyed Owl" | |
| There's a wide-eyed owl | "Open" eyes with fingers. |
| With a pointed nose | Point fingers over nose in a triangle. |
| He has pointed ears | Point fingers up beside ears. |
| And claws for toes | Curl fingers like claws. |
| He sits in a tree | |
| And he looks at you | Circle fingers around eyes. |
| And he flaps his wings | Flap arms. |
| And cries "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!" | Cup hands around mouth to make owl call. |
