Narrator:

This song was written off a 3rd-grader's idea. It's very simple and sometimes inconsistent.

Originally performed for 3rd-graders, this children's song can/should be revamped in every

preformance. Edit it for your audience. All music is original, written by myself, Gregory

Woltman. I hereby give anybody the full rights to the song, sketch, etc. Have fun with it!

If this is ever performed, I would love to see it! If possible, please video recordthe/a performance and email to Thank you.Freely
