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.

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).

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.
We will help the farmer herd the sheep, And harvest corn.

Gallop, gallop, gallop to school, Gently down the path.

We’ll learn math, science, music and art, All great stuff!

Play some games and trot along Hop on and I’ll show you the way!

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

I ran over the mountain,
I ran over the mountain,
I ran over the mountain,
To explore the great outdoors.
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.

Hop on, let’s go
Riding to the beach.
Fun and sun are there for us.

Here we go splashy splash.
Here we go splashy splat.

All while we play at the beach.
