Father Abraham had seven sons,
Seven sons had Father Abraham
And they never laughed,
And they never cried,
All they did was go like this...
with a right arm.

Notes
Here's a Boy Scout version:
Robert Baden-Powell
Robert Baden-Powell had many scouts
Many scouts had Robert Baden-Powell.
I am one of them, and so are you.
Let me tell you what to do...
Right arm.

Keep adding limbs on each subsequent verse until the last verse ends like this:

Right leg, left leg,
Turn around, sit down!
