Pagmulat ng mata,
Langit nakatawa
Sa batibot,
Sa batibot
Tayo nang magpunta
Tuklasin sa batibot
Ang tuwa, ang saya
Doon sa batibot
Tayo na, tayo na
Mga bata sa batibot
Maliksi, masigla. (2x)
Dali, sundan natin
Ang ngiti ng araw
Doon sa batibot (2x)
Tayo nang magpunta
Tuklasin sa batibot
Ang tuwa, ang saya
Doon sa batibot
Tayo na, tayo na
Mga bata sa batibot
Maliksi, masigla. (2x)
