Hagamos una rueda y vamos a jugar

Si comes saludable tus huesos crecerán

Con esta cancioncita tú aprenderás

Como tú estás creciendo...aquí en Sff!

Primero un bebecito pequeño tú serás

Después un niño sano y fuerte crecerás

cuando tú seas joven al college tú irás y

cuando seas adulto tu familia tendrás..,

después serás anciano y abuelito te dirán
