One Little Finger
USA Lyrics
One little finger, one little finger, one little finger.
Tap tap tap.
Point your finger up.
Point your finger down.
Put it on your head. Head!
One little finger, one little finger, one little finger.
Tap tap tap.
Point your finger up.
Point your finger down.
Put it on your nose. Nose!
(Repeat for Chin, Arm, Leg, Foot)
Put it on your leg. Leg!
Put it on your arm. Arm!
Put it on your chin. Chin!
Put it on your nose. Nose!
Put it on your head. Head!
Now let's say goodbye. Goodbye!
Tap tap tap.
Point your finger up.
Point your finger down.
Put it on your head. Head!
One little finger, one little finger, one little finger.
Tap tap tap.
Point your finger up.
Point your finger down.
Put it on your nose. Nose!
(Repeat for Chin, Arm, Leg, Foot)
Put it on your leg. Leg!
Put it on your arm. Arm!
Put it on your chin. Chin!
Put it on your nose. Nose!
Put it on your head. Head!
Now let's say goodbye. Goodbye!
History and Meaning
A simple song involving body parts and directions, popular in preschool education for teaching vocabulary and motor skills. While its precise historical origins remain uncertain, the song was most likely developed to help young children learn and identify various body parts through interactive actions. Children point their "one little finger" to different body parts as they are named (head, nose, chin, arm, leg, foot), developing motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and body awareness through repetition and melody.
