Walking Notes
Walking quarter notes is easy
Come on join in everybody
Walking four beats with your two feet
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four
Slow down your feet; one step two beats
Half notes longer, half notes slower
Pitter, patter moving faster
There is not a thing the matter
If you're warm take off your coats
'Cause now we're walking eighth notes
Don't you think it looks so funny
Kind of like an old time movie
First you listen to the beat
Then double it with walking feet
Half notes, quarter, eighth notes too
Now the steps are up to you
Pick the notes you want to use
Mix them any way you choose
