For while the rain comes pattering down, We merrily sing our song; To faces bright and spirits light, Thus quickly speed along. —Cho. We listen all attentively To what our teachers say, But when our lessons all are o'er, Then 'tis the time to play.—Cho. With smiling faces, at our posts, So orderly we stand, Then quickly turn, and now sit down, When teacher gives command.—Cho
