Scary Stories	Please and Thank You

Swingin' Up to the Stars is an original Barney song that first appeared in "A Splash Party, Please".

Lyrics[]

I'm starting slow
And swinging real low
But soon I'll be going much higher.

Then I'll swing so high
I'll be up in the sky
And pretend that I'm a high flyer.

She's swinging up to the stars
And she just passed Mars.
She better look around soon.

Because if she's not careful
To watch where she's going.
I might just bump into the moon.

She's swinging up to the stars
And she just passed Mars.
She better look around soon.

Because if she's not careful
To watch where she's going.
I might just bump into the moon.

She might just bump into the moon!!
