Duke of York
We found this baby-friendly version of the preschool favorite

Sit on the floor and place your baby on your knees, holding him firmly under the arms. Sing: "The Noble Duke of York; He had ten thousand men; He marched them up to the top of the hill" Pull up your knees so your baby is lifted. Then continue singing: "and marched them down again." Lower your knees and your baby.
