Song: Hello Friends
With American Sign Language
Hello friends

Song: On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table
And onto the floor
And then my poor meatball
Went right out the door

It rolled down the sidewalk
And into the street
And now my poor meatball
Is too dirty to eat
