Best in Class
Who’s the tallest,
Who’s the smallest,
Who can run real fast?
Who’s the smartest,
Who’s an artist,
Who is never last?
Who can sing,
Who can swing,
Who can climb a tree?
Who can hop,
Who can bop,
Who’s as good as me?
Who is sunny,
Who is funny,
Who will share a sweet?
Who is loud
Who is proud,
Who is ‘nice and neat’?
Who is busy,
Who is fizzy,
Who prefers a rest?
Who is brave,
Who’s your fave,
Teacher, who’s the best?
Who’s the smallest,
Who can run real fast?
Who’s the smartest,
Who’s an artist,
Who is never last?
Who can sing,
Who can swing,
Who can climb a tree?
Who can hop,
Who can bop,
Who’s as good as me?
Who is sunny,
Who is funny,
Who will share a sweet?
Who is loud
Who is proud,
Who is ‘nice and neat’?
Who is busy,
Who is fizzy,
Who prefers a rest?
Who is brave,
Who’s your fave,
Teacher, who’s the best?
