Closing: We Wave Goodbye Like This (Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)
We wave goodbye like this,
We wave goodbye like this.
We clap our hands for all our friends!
We wave goodbye like this.
We wave goodbye really fast,
We wave goodbye really slow.
We turn around and take a bow,
And then it’s time to go!
