Song of the Week – Tengo una familia

Tengo una familia y es fenomenal

Mi papa me ama mi mama igual

Con mis hermanitos yo puedo jugar

Y mis abuelitos bailan sin cesar.(x2)

Con este chachacha

La familia aprenderás

Respeto a papa amo mi mama

Mi abuelo y mi abuela felices están

Esta es mi familia, es mi dulce hogar.

Chachachacha amo a mi mama

Chachachacha amo a mi papa (x2)
