[ANNA, spoken]
It's a very ancient saying
But a true and honest thought
That if you become a teacher
By your pupils you'll be taught
(sung)
As a teacher I've been learning—
You'll forgive me if I boast—
And I've now become an expert
On the subject I like most
(spoken)
Getting to know you!
[Children giggle]
(sung)
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you, putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
My cup of tea
[Children giggle]
[ALL]
Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
[ANNA & MOTHERS]
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me
Getting to know you, putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
[ANNA]
My cup of tea
[ALL]
Children
Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
[ANNA]
Getting to know you
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
[ANNA & CHILDREN]
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day
