Gus Goat's Happy Day 1
Children's music
[Verse 1] Gus Goat woke up with a happy little grin, He saw all his friends and said, "Let's begin!" They played in the sunshine, they laughed and they ran, But Gus had to learn something special today! [Chorus] Gus Goat, Gus Goat, having so much fun, Playing with his friends underneath the sun! Gus Goat, Gus Goat, learning something new, There's so much to discover, so much to do! [Verse 2] He climbed up the hill with his buddy the bear, They rolled down together without any care, But when they got hungry, Gus didn't know why, His tummy was rumbling, he started to cry! [Chorus] Gus Goat, Gus Goat, having so much fun, Playing with his friends underneath the sun! Gus Goat, Gus Goat, learning something new, There's so much to discover, so much to do! [Bridge] His friends gathered 'round him and showed him the way, "When you're feeling hungry, it's time for a snack today!" They shared some apples and carrots so bright, Now Gus understands and he feels just right! [Chorus] Gus Goat, Gus Goat, having so much fun, Playing with his friends underneath the sun! Gus Goat, Gus Goat, learning something new, There's so much to discover, so much to do! [Outro] Now Gus knows to listen when his body talks, He'll eat when he's hungry on all of his walks, With friends by his side and a lesson so clear, Gus Goat's happy day is the best of the year!
