Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
Around me sit my friends so dear, And I am very glad I’m here; I know my teacher loves me, too, And tries to teach me what to do. I know the Lord wants me to be A very happy child, you see; So when I do just as I should, Joy comes to me and I feel good!
