lyrics
Kindergarten starts today
Kindergarten starts today
I got my pencils, books and my crayons - YAY!
Kindergarten starts today
Got my trapper keeper and my pencil case
The hallways are confusing
I hope I don't lose my way
Time to make new friends and playdates too
My new best buddy might be the kid who eats the glue
Kindergarten starts today
Kindergarten starts today
I got my pencils, books and my crayons - YAY!
Kindergarten starts today
My neighbor Trish is sitting so quietly next to me
She's squirming in her seat
Maybe she's gotta go pee
Blocks or dolls? I can't decide
Which one will my new friend pick?
And will she still be my friend if I go play with Nick?
Kindergarten starts today
Kindergarten starts today
I got my pencils, books and my crayons - YAY!
Kindergarten starts today
Mom packed me a lunch with PB & J
But during art I stuffed my face with modeling clay
Kindergarten starts today
Kindergarten starts today
I got my pencils, books and my crayons - YAY!
Kindergarten starts today
Nap time is a drag and recess is a ball
THe new kid from Arkansas just threw up in the hall
Anthony tried to run home
He doesn't live far away
He didn't make it to the fence
The crossing guard made him stay
Kindergarten starts today
Kindergarten starts today
I got my pencils, books and my crayons - YAY!
Kindergarten starts today
