Lyrics
Hello - hello
Nice day - nice day
Pleased to see you - pleased to see you too
Let's run - let's run
Let's play - let's play
I will talk to you - I will talk to you
We can dance - we can dance
And sing - and sing
We can jump - we can jump
And swing - and swing
Watch me laugh - watch me laugh
And poke a face - and poke a face
Now we're friends - now we're friends
Come and join us at our place
Repeat x 2
Now we're friends - now we're friends
Come and join us at our place
