4 Flavours Lyrics

1 2 3 4

Numbers 1 to 10 Gus would love to teach
While he's having fun playing at the beach
Learning numbers is really no chore
Especially when it comes to number four

Do you know what Gus' favourite treat is, in the summertime?
Ice cream! He has four flavours
Hokey-pokey, strawberry, vanilla and lime
Come on Gus, lick without delay
Or else the summer sun, will melt it all away!
