Slow and Fast
Slowly, slowly
Playing slowly
Slowly as snails go sliding by
Slowly as clouds drift through the sky
Faster, faster, playing faster
With a rapid rhythmic clatter
Quickly, quickly, clicking clanging
Clacking, smacking, booming, banging
Like a charging cheetah chasing
Frightened rabbits, running, racing
Listen to us madly play
In our very fastest way!
Slowly, slowly
Playing slowly
Slowly as leaves turn brown in the fall
Slowly as turtles
Move when they crawl
Faster, faster, playing faster
With a rapid rhythmic clatter
Quickly, quickly, clicking clanging
Clacking, smacking, booming, banging
Like a fly darts through the flowers
Like a jet on super power
Listen to us madly play
In our very fastest way!
