We will both be very happy when we trade!
If we both like what we got,
Even more than what we gave,

We will both be very happy when we trade!

I will trade away my __(pencil)___ when we trade!
I will trade away my __(pencil)___ when we trade!
If we both like what we got,

We will both be very happy when we trade!
You will trade away your _(paper)_ when we trade!
You will trade away your _(paper)_ when we trade!
If we both like what we got,
Even more than what we gave,
We will both be very happy when we trade!
