LyricsEdit

We like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

We like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

This one has four sides and it is called a square.

This one has four sides and it is called a square.

The square's four sides are all the same. (All the same)

The square's four sides are all the same. (All the same)

Oh, we like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

We like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

This one is a circle, 'cause it is so round.

This one is a circle, 'cause it is so round.

The circle always looks like this. (Like this)

The circle always looks like this. (Like this)

Oh, we like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

We like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

This one is a triangle. It has three sides.

This one is a triangle. It has three sides.

We draw a triangle like this (Like this)

We draw a triangle like this.(Like this)

Oh, we like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.

We like the shapes, we like the shapes.

We can paint them all right here.
