FOLLOW ME.

Children goTo and fro,In a merry, pretty row,Footsteps light,Faces bright;’Tis a happy sight.Swiftly turning round and round,Never look upon the ground;Follow me,Full of glee,Singing merrily.Work is done,Play’s begun;Now we have our laugh and fun;Happy days,Pretty plays,And no naughty ways.Holding fast each other’s hand,We’re a happy little band;Follow me,Full of glee,Singing merrily.Birds are free,So are we;And we live as happily.Work we do,Study too,For we learn “Twice two;”Then we laugh, and dance, and sing,Gay as larks upon the wing;Follow me,Full of glee,Singing merrily.

Children go

To and fro,

In a merry, pretty row,

Footsteps light,

Faces bright;

’Tis a happy sight.

Swiftly turning round and round,

Never look upon the ground;

Follow me,

Full of glee,

Singing merrily.

Work is done,Play’s begun;Now we have our laugh and fun;Happy days,Pretty plays,And no naughty ways.Holding fast each other’s hand,We’re a happy little band;Follow me,Full of glee,Singing merrily.

Work is done,

Play’s begun;

Now we have our laugh and fun;

Happy days,

Pretty plays,

And no naughty ways.

Holding fast each other’s hand,

We’re a happy little band;

Follow me,

Full of glee,

Singing merrily.

Birds are free,So are we;And we live as happily.Work we do,Study too,For we learn “Twice two;”Then we laugh, and dance, and sing,Gay as larks upon the wing;Follow me,Full of glee,Singing merrily.

Birds are free,

So are we;

And we live as happily.

Work we do,

Study too,

For we learn “Twice two;”

Then we laugh, and dance, and sing,

Gay as larks upon the wing;

Follow me,

Full of glee,

Singing merrily.
