(leader sings a line, everyone repeats)

Oh, my aunt came back,
From Holland too,
And she brought with her,
A wooden shoe.

(Action: Stamping your foot on the word 'shoe' and keep stamping)

Oh my aunt came back,
From Old Japan,
And she brought with her,
A waving fan.

(Action: Wave fan and continue to stamp foot)

Oh my aunt came back,
From Open Plain,
And she brought with her,
A walking cane.

(Action: Hold cane and move both feet while continuing the fan and the stamp)

More verses:
...From near Kamloops, some hula hoops (Add hula hoop motion)
...From near Algiers, some cutting shears (Add cutting motion)
...From New York fair, a rocking chair (Add rocking motion)
...From Niagara Falls, some ping pong balls (Move head to follow balls
