Introduction
This is a song that everyone knows. It is usually sung as a round. That means that the different parts sung by the different sections are actually the same part just started at different times. We have sung these in class regularly.
See the videos below for demonstrations and an explanation. Why not sing-along just for fun?

Sheet Music
There are only a couple of challenges in playing this piece. The most important thing to focus on is rhythm.
Notice the left hand over marking in measure number 5. The notes are higher than the usual one we see for this marking. Usually we are stretching up to A and we have the option to stretch our finger out if we can, but this time we have to skip up three steps so we are going to have to use the left hand over to play these notes.
Take it slow and remember to break it up into phrases.
