PostHeaderIcon Let’s Have a Carnival

Light up the Stars

Turn on the tap

Fill up the tank

And dunk your favorite teacher.

 

Kick off your shoes

Light up your dreams

Hop on a rocket

And walk on the moon.

 

Cotton candy

In your face

Dogs that don’t bark

On hot fresh buns

Cake for the walking

And cake to eat.

 

Come see the Dragons

Have a good time

Border Star rocks

And don’t you forget it!
