Let's learn to walk today!
Little boys and girls,
Off to the woods we go,
Holding hands and singing songs,
Lift a foot high in the air,
And plop the foot down,
Raise the other foot,
And plop the foot down,
And there we go a walkin',
Off into the woods,
And if the body hops a little,
There we go a skippin',
Off into the woods,
And as the bear approaches,
Lift the feet higher and faster,
And off we go a runnin',
Down the slope into water,
And kick your legs and flail your arms,
And off we go a swimmin',
Away from the shocks of an electric eel,
And finally we are home,
Draggin' our feet in tiredness,
But we had a grand day,
Of learning how to walk!
