Hello!We're going on a musical adventure around the world.Where will we stop today? Ahh, fantastic! Today, we’re visiting the United Kingdom. Scotland, to be precise.And look, it’s Una the Unicorn!Una has a Scottish song to share with us, all about a farmer named Katie Bairdie and her animals.Make sure you’ve got plenty of space to stretch out your arms.Try to follow the moves. Or, make up your own dance and groove to the music!
Katie Bairdie had a coo.Black and white and it said “moo”.Wasnae that a dainty coo?Dance Katie Bairdie.
Heed and shoulders, knees and toes!Raise your arms and strike a pose.Heed and shoulders, knees and toes!Dance Katie Bairdie.
Katie Bairdie had a cat.It would chase both moose and rat.Wasnae that a dainty cat?Dance Katie Bairdie.
Heed and shoulders, knees and toes!Raise your arms and strike a pose.Heed and shoulders, knees and toes!Dance Katie Bairdie.
Katie had a crocodile.Havenae seen her in a while.Watch out for its snapping smile.Dance Katie Bairdie.
Heed and shoulders, knees and toes!Raise your arms and strike a pose.Now it’s time for us to go.Goodbye Katie Bairdie
