Let's build a city, tall and grand,
With stores and streets that we have planned.
A park where children run and play,
And buses and cars that come our way.

We'll start with a building, strong and tall,
A place where we can learn and grow and all.
Then we'll add some stores for us to see,
Toys and treats and books for you and me.

A street that's bustling with people and sounds,
As we walk and talk and look around.
We'll cross the road, with cars and trucks,
And hop on a bus when we need a lift.

The park is waiting, a green oasis,
With swings and slides and places to chase us.
We'll run and laugh and play all day,
Then head back home as the sun fades away.

So let's build a city, big and bright,
With everything we need in sight.
A place where we can explore and learn,
And make memories that will always burn.
