1 Ball Lyrics

1

Numbers 1 to 10 Gus would love to teach
While he's having fun playing at the beach
Learning numbers is so much fun
So c'mon we 'll start with number one!

Gus loves to play with his one beach ball
Spinning it around he won't let it fall
Playing with his ball happy as can be
One hippo and one ball in the cool blue sea

Gus loves to play with his one beach ball
Spinning it around he won't let it fall
Playing with his ball happy as can be
One hippo and one ball in the cool blue sea
