John Brown's baby's got a cold upon its chest,
John Brown's baby's got a cold upon its chest,
John Brown's baby's got a cold upon its chest,
So he rubbed it with camphorated oil!

Camphor, camphor-camphorated!
Camphor, camphor-camphorated!
Camphor, camphor-camphorated!
So he rubbed it with camphorated oil!


Sing over and over again, each time round replacing another word from the verse :

Baby - make cradle of arms and rocking motion
Cold - finger under nose and little sneeze "tchoo"
Chest - strike chest with flat of hand
Rubbed - rub chest with hand

Camphorated oil - hold nose and pull face

(Sing chorus through in full each time - don't omit words)
