Kids' chant:
Preschool, preschool,
Happy you-and-me school.
Lookin' up with LAUP
See-what-we-can-be school!

Verse one:
Four years old, eager to learn,
Eyes wide open, energy to burn.
Getting' one step ahead sure beats fallin' behind.
Let 'em grow up smart
Now's the time to start by

Chorus:
Movin' up! A, B, C.
Movin' up! 1, 2, 3.
All they need is love and opportunity
To be movin' up
To see what they can be.
Movin' up...

Verse two:
On the edge, ready to thrive
Full of promise, totally alive
Invest in families now, later on we'll find
We give dreams a voice
When we give our kids a choice
(To be...)
(repeat chorus)

Bridge:
It's a feelin' you get when you're winnin'.
You can't stop grinnin'. It's just the beginnin'...

Kids' chant:
Preschool, preschool,
Happy you-and-me school.
Lookin' up with LAUP
See-what-we-can-be school!

(repeat chorus and out)
