Chiku Counts the Stars
======================
KUDIMI · A World of Imagination

[Verse]
Night is here, the sky is blue,
Chiku the panda, how do you do?
Tara the firefly glows so bright,
Let us count the stars tonight!

[Chorus]
Look up, look up, what do you see?
Stars to count with you and me!
Shine, shine, one by one,
Counting stars is so much fun!

[Count]
One little star, over the tree,
Two little stars, shining at me,
Three little stars, over the hill,
Four little stars, quiet and still,
Five little stars, all in a row,
Count them again, and off we go!

[Chorus]
Look up, look up, what do you see?
Stars to count with you and me!
Shine, shine, one by one,
Counting stars is so much fun!

[Tag]
One, two, three, four, five!
Goodnight, stars, goodnight!
