Come On Let's Go!
by: SquirtgunGrab a hold of me and don't let go
I'll take you places that you've never known
Grab onto me
Hold on, don't let go
Hang onto me
Come on let's go
Grab a hold of me and don't let go
We'll fly places that we've never flown
Grab a hold of me and don't let go
We'll be melting like an ice cream cone
