Five Stuffed Scarecrows

Five stuffed scarecrows in the corn rows, (stand straight and tall)
The first one said, "Go away crows!" (make waving motions)
The second one said, "I am very small." (crouch down low)
The third one said, "I am standing tall." (stand on tiptoes)
The fourth one said, "On my head I wear a hat." (put pretend hat on head)
The fifth one said "By my feet runs a cat!" (run in place)
Five stuffed scarecrows in the corn rows, (stand straight and tall)
Moving left and right as the autumn wind blows. (sway back and forth)
