Star Song

I'm a Star Scout

Yes, a Star Scout

And I shine everywhere

Here I twinkle

There I twinkle

As I float in the air.


I am a Star Scout Tra-la-la-la

A little Star Scout Tra-la-la-la

I shine and gleam in the bright skies above.

I am a Star Scout Tra-la-la-la

A little Star Scout Tra-la-la-la

Let's dance and sing in the skies above.
