(Hold bag with one hand and place the other hand on your head. ) He knocked on the door with a ratatattat. (Knock at an imaginary door. ) He looked at the dolly and he shook his head. (Look down and shake head back and forth. ) He said, Miss Polly, put her straight to (Shake one finger. ) He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
