Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!

Basic shapes will help you to create
pictures of people or whatever you want to make.
You can use an oval for the body of a fish.  
Very small circles can be his eyes.  
Triangles can be his fins and that's a fish, with BASIC SHAPES!

Chorus:  
Basic shapes, basic shapes, basic shapes, are what you use to draw.  
Basic shapes, basic shapes, basic shapes, make 'em medium, big, or small.
Basic shapes, basic shapes, basic shapes are really not hard at all.  
Use a ruler, a compass, or free hand draw.  Whooh!

Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!

Basic shapes will help you to create
pictures of people or whatever you want to make.  
You can use a square to make your house, 
Rectangles can be windows and doors, 
Triangle can be the roof, 
And that's a house, with BASIC SHAPES!

Chorus

(Spell out):  B-A-S-I-C-S-H-A-P-E-S, BASIC SHAPES!
(Spell out):  B-A-S-I-C-S-H-A-P-E-S, BASIC SHAPES!

Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!

(Spell out):  B-A-S-I-C-S-H-A-P-E-S, BASIC SHAPES!
(Spell out):  B-A-S-I-C-S-H-A-P-E-S, BASIC SHAPES!

Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
Triangle, rectangle, circle, oval, square, BASIC SHAPES!
