Looking for a specific poem for young children?

It starts out "open and shut, open and shut, this is the way we cut, cut, cut." It also has a line about "Fingers on the bottom and thumb on the top" and I can't remember the rest of it! If you know the words, I would love to use it for a lesson on using scissors! I already tried googling with no luck.
