Dot To Dot
Making my way from dot to dot
A squirrel, a bunny, a kangaroo
Interested in seeing what I’ve got?
I won’t know until it’s through.
A squirrel, a bunny, a kangaroo
A galaxy of stars up in heaven,
I won’t know until it's through
I’ve passed five, six, and seven.
A galaxy of stars up in heaven
Or, perhaps, a fairy all in pink
I’ve passed nine, ten, and eleven
Glad I’ve pencil, not indelible ink!
Or, perhaps, a fairy all in pink
When I have colored what I drew
Glad I’ve pencil, not indelible ink
I won’t know until I get to twenty-two.
When I have colored what I drew
Interested in seeing what I’ve got?
I won’t know until I get to twenty-two,
Making my way from dot to dot.
