You are my valentine
My only valentine
You make me happy
Oh yes you do
And you should know dear
How much I love you
Here is my heart
It’s for you.

Five little hearts
All in a row
The first one said, “I love you so”
The second one said, “Will you be my valentine?”
The third one said, “I will, if you’ll be mine.”
The fourth one said, “I’ll always be your friend.”
The fifth one said, “We’ll all be friends until the very end.”

ACTION SONG/ CD: Skidamarink
From Old Town School of Folk’s album, Wiggleworms Love You

Skidamarink a dinka dink. (Put right elbow in  left hand and wiggle  fingers)
Skidamarink a doo. (Put left elbow in right hand and wiggle fingers)
I love you. (Point to eyes, hug yourself, and point to others)

Skidamarink a dinka dink. (Repeat actions)
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you.

I love you in the morning. (Make a big circle over head  like the sun)

And in the afternoon. (Hold arms in circle out in front of you)
I love you in the evening. (Move arms in circle down)
And underneath the moon. (Release arms and make another big circle over head)

Skidamarink a dinka dink.
Skidamarink a doo.
I love you.

(Repeat)
