Come gather round, young girls and boys,
I've got a story that's full of joys.
It's about a baby, just like you,
Who loved to laugh and giggle too.

This baby's Dad was quite a guy,
He knew just how to make her fly.
He'd lift her high up in the air,
And spin her round without a care.

The key to having fun, he'd say,
Is to let yourself go all the way.
Enjoy the ride and don't be shy,
Let your laughter fill the sky.

And when we hear that joyful sound,
We can't help but jump around.
We all join in and make a fuss,
And share the joy that's all around us.

So let's remember, you and I,
To have some fun and never be shy.
We'll enjoy ourselves and play the game,
And keep on laughing all the same.
