I get a rubber ring I go back home
I like going And go down the slide At the end of the day
Because we get jewels and big stones from the shop I land at the bottom So much has happened
I like going up to the sea My smile is really wide I’ve got lots to say
Climbing up big rocks and dipping my toes in the water
I like the disco part I like winning prizes I go to the shop It’s time for bed
I like trying to swim in a little pool And buy ice cream But I cannot sleep
But I will never ever have a swim in the sea It tastes so delicious My summer is exciting
My summer holidays I like everything I think I’m in a dream Memories to keep
