A Star Turn

Twinkle star, Twinkle bright!

A clamour of glamour across the night!

Little stars, eyes alight,

Tutus and tights, bold and bright!

How do I look? Have I got it right?

Will I look a lovely sight?

Please, don’t let me get stage fright…

Oh I’m trying with all my might!

I SO want my star to shine tonight!
