Perform with baby on your lap.
| There's a world outside my window | Clap baby's hands gently. |
| It's a world of color for me. | |
| Fiddle-dee-dee, outside my window. | |
| There's a world of color for me. |

| Rainbow around me. | Bring baby's hands to your chest. |

| Make new friends, | Clap hands. | |
| But keep the old. | ||
| One is silver | ||
| And the other is gold. | ||
| A circle is round, | Make an imaginary circle using your index finger. | |
| It has no end. | ||
| That's how long | ||
| I'll be your friend. | Tickle your little one when you get to "friend." | |

Preschoolers
| The more we get together, | Clap hands. | |
| Together, together. | ||
| The more we get together, | ||
| The happier we'll be. | ||
| For your friends are my friends, | Point to little one, then to yourself. | |
| And my friends are your friends. | Point to yourself, then to little one. | |
| The more we get together, | Continuing clapping hands together. | |
| The happier we'll be! | End with single loud clap on "be." | |
