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.
