Join Laurie Berkner on a wacky elevator ride as she sings “Waiting For The Elevator” here or on CMOM’s YouTube Channel.

- The cat jumps.
- The cow rocks.

What sounds does each animal make? Sing along with Laurie as she builds on each verse of the song. If you got on an elevator as an animal, what animal would you be? Use your imagination as you try on different clothes, socks, hats, and scarves to dress up like your animal. What sounds and movement would you make?
