Shelf Marker Hokey Pokey

Great chant created by Marjorie Pettersen and Barb Engvall.  To the tune of “Hokey Pokey”

You put your shelf marker in
You take the book out
You keep your shelf marker in
And you hold the book about
You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You put the book back in
You take the shelf marker out
You put your shelf marker in
See what another book’s about
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!

You take your book with you
You take your marker too
Wait your turn in line
For the computer to check you out
You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself aounrd
That’s what it’s all about.
