Song Lyrics
Running on the spot, run, run, run

Running on the spot, run, run, run

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong

Jumping up and down, jump, jump, jump

Jumping up and down, jump, jump, jump

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong

Skipping with a rope, skip, skip, skip

Skipping with a rope, skip, skip, skip

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong, getting strong

Getting strong
