ART SEASON NEVER ENDS
I have a favorite season, not spring, summer,
autumn or winter...it’s Art Season!
What joy it is tooting my clarinet
as loud as thunder,
just like the Spring Storms that are over
Art Season Never Ends
Twirling and dancing on the green summer grass
for luck I pick a four-leaf clover
Art Season Never Ends
As the autumn leaves fall and school gets busy,
my beautiful piano soothes me
Art Season Never Ends
In the winter snow, the stage is cold, but acting
makes me joyous and warm and happy!
Art Season Never Ends
