00:46Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky

00:55Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are

01:37Incy-wincy spider, climbing up the spout

01:42Down came the rain and washed the spider out

01:47Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain

01:52So, incy-wincy spider, climbed up the spout again

02:04Hush, little baby, don't say a word

02:08Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

02:13If that mockingbird won't sing

02:17Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
