THE BUSY SUN

2  

In Summertime we play outside
Fresh air and sunshine bless us,
Indoors with windows open wide
Good health is always with us

3  

Then winter comes, at home we work,
We love it warm and jolly,
But if our rooms are close or dark
We'll suffer for our folly

4  

Because those tiny little germs
Which make us weak and sickly,
In darkness there are lots of them,
But fresh air knocks the spots off them,
And sunlight kills them quickly.
