Conozco mucha mucha gente en mi vida,

Que siempre ayuda con mucha alegría

Y si tú quieres conocer sus oficios

Jugando vamos a nombrarlos en un ratito.

Es l enfermera, es el cartero

Es la maestra de Sff!

El policía y el bombero

Son los amigos que te cuidaran.

Conozco mucha……….

Es el dentista y el granjero

El cocinero…delicias te hará

El carpintero y el arquitecto

Son los amigos que te ayudaran.
