What Do You See? lyrics

What can you see?

What can you see?

I see cars, I see cars.

Looking all around,

Looking up and down,

Please tell me,

What you see.

I see a bus, I see a bus,

Looking all around,

Looking up and down,

Please tell me,

What you see.

I see children, I see children,

Looking all around,

Looking up and down,

Please tell me,

I see clouds, I see clouds,

Looking all around,

Looking up and down,

Please tell me,
