Bev it sounds cute.  Don't know it - but if anyone else does, perhaps
someone could write out some sheet music or tell us where to find it?

Subject: [HANASHIR:15986] song background information
 
Hi,
I am the music teacher at the Hebrew Day School in Ann Arbor and am
looking for some information about a song I am using for our music
festival in December with the first grade students.  I had learned it in
the 60's at Habonim Camp Tavor and it is so simple and catchy I don't
know why I can't find it anywhere and no one I ask has heard of it. So I
am sending it out here and am courious whether someone else on this list
might know it and can shed some light as to where it came from.  The
hand motions and jumps that I remember that go with it make it into a
kids couples dance too.  Here's the words-
 
Histovevu el hahar zug el zug  (3x)
Yadayim l'malah ul'histovev
Yadayim al einayim (or any body part) zug el zug (3x)
yadayim l'malah u'lhistovev
 
thanks for your help,
 Bev Warshai
