SONG LYRICS
Song 1
Ohhh I’m the fastest pony, you know I am the best.
Climb into my saddle and I will get you there.
Song 2
So round and yellow, it looks just like the sun.
Rather mellow and it’s used so many times,
A circle is a ball, a donut or a dot.
A big round scoop of ice cream, I really like a lot.
Song 3
Let’s saddle up and go.
Let’s enjoy this yellow sunny day.
We’ll see lots of things shaped as circles,
Wheels, clocks and soccer balls.
Let’s enjoy this yellow sunny day.

Song 4
This red heart, has two points.
Start in the middle, do two half circles,
Then meet again at the bottom.
A heart we drew!
Song 5
My little red heart is a-gleaming, a-gleaming,
My little red heart is a-gleaming, a-gleaming,
Eating veggies and daily exercise,
Is heart power for me.
Song 6
A green triangle has three sides.
When you draw me, use three lines.
Some are big and some are small,
Like a pizza slice (yum yum).
Song 7
Together we will go far far away,
Explore new horizons.
We will see many places and things that have triangles!
Pyramids, traffic cones, sailboats, and mountains.
We will travel from night to day.
Song 8
Let’s go to the farm today
To visit all our friends.
Donkeys, cows and ducks, and with any luck,
We will find a dog, a rabbit and some chickens.

Got my saddle ready,
Ready for a day at the farm.

And harvest corn.

Gallop, gallop, gallop to school,
Gently down the path.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Off to school we go.

Walk, walk, walking to school.
We’ll learn math, science, music and art,
All great stuff!

Let’s ride to the park to-day,
I know where we can find some hay.
We will sing some silly songs,
Play some games and trot along
Hop on and I’ll show you the way!

Walking, trotting, galloping,
All through the park.
We’ll see slides, kids playing and having so much fun.
From dawn to dusk we will play.

I ran over the mountain,

To explore the great outdoors.

The shoes on my hooves go clink, clink, clink,
Clink, clink, clink,
Clink, clink, clink.
The shoes on my hooves, go clink, clink, clink,
Going up the mountain.
