Smarty Party! I promise to send you a postcard. I may have got carried away. Canada, Ottawa! U.S.A., Washington, D.C.! Mexico, Mexico City, with a postcard just for me. Cuba, Havana, put a stamp upon the top, A little tour of capitals, we've many more to stop! Brazil, Brasília! Peru, Lima, here we go! Argentina, Buenos Aires, Colombia, Bogotá! Every card a little window, every place a different day, I'm running out of pencils but I've plenty left to say! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! France, Paris! Italy, Rome! Germany, Berlin! Spain, Madrid! More postcards, let the next verse in! A capital's a country's special government address, Not always its biggest city! More to learn, not less! Kenya, Nairobi! Ghana, Accra! Sing along! Senegal, Dakar! Morocco, Rabat! Keep it strong! Four of many capitals across this mighty place, Another card, another hello, another smiling face! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! Japan, Tokyo! India, New Delhi! Here we fly! South Korea, Seoul! Thailand, Bangkok! Wave goodbye! My suitcase full of postcards has been growing rather wide, I think I'll need a second one to fit the stamps inside! Australia, Canberra! New Zealand, Wellington! Fiji, Suva! Samoa, Apia! What a run! Antarctica has no country's capital to send, So here's a penguin doodle for my very patient friend! Postcard! Postcard! Pin it on the wall! One big world, a big hello for all! Every name a place where somebody calls home, A world of little hellos, wherever we may roam! The postcards got home before I did. Please put the kettle on. Smarty Party Songs!
