Out in the Garden
Let us recite
Out in the garden,
Each fine day.
With my ball,
I like to play.
I bounce my ball,
I throw my ball.
I catch my ball,
On each fine day.
Out in the garden,
Each fine day.
With my kite,
I like to play.
I tug my kite,
I pull my kite.
I fly my kite,
On each fine day.
Out in the garden,
Each fine day.
With my friends,
I like to play.
We run and skip,
We jump and sway.
We slide and swing,
On each fine day.
