Ring Around the World
Ring around the world

Taking hands together
All across the temperate
And the torrid weather.
Past the royal palm-trees
By the ocean sand
Make a ring around the world
Taking each others hand;
In the valleys, on the hill,
Over the prairie spaces,
Theres a ring around the world
Made of childrens friendly faces.

Keep a Poem in Your Pocket
Keep a poem in your pocket
And a picture in your head
And youll never feel lonely
At night when youre in bed.
The little poem will sing to you
The little picture bring to you
A dozen dreams to dance to you
So
Keep a picture in your pocket
And a poem in your head
And youll never feel lonely
