17. Round and Round, American folk song: The seasons of the year go round and round, and as we dance through the year, we can pay attention to the gifts that nature gives us, and how to best show our gratitude for those gifts!
lyrics
ROUND AND ROUND, traditional American folk song
Refrain (2x):
Round and Round, dance around, Dance around I say, Round and round, dance around, Summer’s on its way.
Summer’s coming round the bend, Flowers start to bloom,
Flies are buzzing, Roosters crowing, bees they go zoom-zoom.
Round and Round, dance around, Dance around I say, Round and round, dance around, Fall is on its way.
Fall is coming round the bend, summer’s almost done,
Everybody’s stepping out, having autumn fun!
Round and Round, dance around, Dance around I say, Round and round, dance around, winter’s on its way.
Winter’s coming round the bend, cold and icy breeze,
Leaves have fallen to the ground, bare branches on the trees
Round and Round, dance around, Dance around I say, Round and round, dance around, spring is on its way.
Spring is coming round the bend, winter’s almost done,
Sun is shining through the clouds, bringing springtime fun
Round and Round, dance around, Dance around I say, Round and round, dance around, Summer’s on its way.
