Keep Walking
One two three four
Skip through the door
Five six seven eight
Chin up keep that back straight
Nine ten eleven twelve
Go on you’ll feel good about yourself
Thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen
Breathe in deeply pace your steps
Seventeen eighteen nineteen twenty
Brisk walk inhale deeply
Twenty-one twenty-two twenty-three twenty four
Straighten that back a little more
Twenty-five twenty-six twenty-seven twenty-eight
Come on hold that back up straight
Twenty-nine thirty thirty-one thirty-two
The legs are aching what to do
thirty- three thirty-four thirty-five thirty-six
now you feel a little stiff
thirty-seven thirty-eight thirty-nine forty
girl you sure look rather sporty
forty-one forty-two forty-three forty-four
think you can do a wee bit more
forty-five forty-six forty-seven forty-eight
boy you’re sure bent out of shape
forty-nine .fifty fifty-one fifty-two
Sorry folks... but that’s all I can do at sixty-two.
