Jazz Baby

When Daddy puts a vinyl record labeled Jazz Baby on the turntable, the whole family gets into the sound, including the baby in his crib: "Brother's hands tap. Sister's hands snap. Itty-bitty Baby's hands CLAP-CLAP-CLAP!" The rhythmic text continues with everyone singing and dancing until finally it's a "snoozy-woozy baby" who has dropped off to sleep at last.
