One Ball – We ‘ll Start With Number 1 Lyrics
1
Numbers 1 to 10 Gus would love to teach, while he's having fun playing at the beach.
Learning numbers is so much fun,
so c'mon we 'll start with number one!
*Gus loves to play with his one beach ball,
spinning it around he won't let it fall.
Playing with his ball happy as can be,
one hippo and one ball in the cool blue sea.
