Lyrics for Trevor's daily Skally walk.

Come on, flitty-flotta, bitty,
Hooldee-ah-tah-wotta, jitty.
Come on, flitty-bitty cahlla,
Needa-jitty-boat!
Silly sounds become so witty,
Playing with the little kitty.
Groovy Goobs become so giddy,
Trevor is the GOAT!

Silly syllables to celebrate Trevor being the GOAT.

Here’s a cool rhyme so we can show,
rhythm helps us learn how the blood does flow.
Heart pumps blood to the body up and down,
it’s a big old muscle that moves it all around.
"Pulmonary" circulation goes out to the lungs,
CO2 goes out and in the oxygen comes.
And then it’s "systematic" that brings that O2,
to the rest of the body to let it pass through.

First verse of the circulatory system song.
