Keep Fit
Language: English
Every morning in the street,
You can hear the pit-a-pat of feet,
There are rows of people doing gym,
To keep them beautiful and slim.
Each one tries his best,
They're throwing out their chest,
It's beauty culture, don't forget,
And brings down weight and fat!
Trying hard to keep in shape
For times to come outside the gate,
Also for the time which is quite near,
To join the British pioneer!
