Lyrics[]
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
One, two, three, four, bouncing on your feet
Where is Orinoco? Probably asleep
Up in the morning for a five mile run
Down to the river for a swim
Biceps are bulging it's all good fun
Chest out and keep your tummy in...
Jumping in your gym shoes, skipping with a rope
If you haven't got the energy, you haven't got a hope
Running in the morning, good for your thighs
Running in the evening, good for your eyes
Physical exertion makes you strong
Keeps you alert and slim
Just keep skipping and you can't go wrong
You'll be sound in mind and limb
Left, right, left, right, up, down, stop
Is anybody tired yet? Tomsk is not!
Puffing like a steam train, running like a horse
Is anyone for tennis now? Tomsk, of course!
Up in the morning for a five mile run
Down to the river for a swim
Biceps are bulging it's all good fun
Chest out and keep your tummy in...
Poetry in motion, legs in line
Pressing up and pressing down, four-four time
Poetry in motion, legs in line
Pressing up and pressing down, four-four time
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
Standing on your tiptoes, running on the spot
Exercise is good for you, laziness is not
