Lyrics for One Day a Hand Went Walking
One day a hand went walking,
Awalking, awalking,
One day a hand went walking,
To see what it could see.
And now the hand went walking
Awalking, awalking
And now the hand went walking
To see what it could see
And those two hands got talking
And walking and talking
And those two hands got talking and walked down to the sea
And then they started dancing and prancing and dancing
And then they started dancing and they danced beside the sea
