The sun has got his hat on.
Hip, hip, hip hooray!
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play.
Isobel’s got her hat on.
Hip, hip, hip hooray!
Isobel’s got her hat on and she’s coming out to play.
Now we’ll all be happy.
Hip, hip, hip hooray!
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out to play.
