Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Stretching as you shine so far
Stretching out your shining light
Shining in the sky so bright
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Stretching as you shine so far!
