Does anyone know the words to the song being sung at the closing ceremony?  My character reading is awful so Pinyin please.  All I could understand (thanks to ChinesePod) was "wo ai Beijing"

I can't tell you what the lyrics are but the music was stolen from the children's show Zoboomafoo.

I kind of liked that song.

Here are the lyrics in Chinese from this source.

 歌词：北京 北京 我爱北京，奥运圣火点燃心中热情。北京 北京 我爱北京，奥运光芒照耀世界的心。当清晨 第一缕阳光，点亮了 我的梦想。那希望 看到了曙光，张开翅膀一起飞翔。绿色之都 散发芳香，科技之光 把爱点亮。文化古城 故事悠长，幸福歌声 唱的响亮。CHEER UP(Buming Heart)超越自己， CHEER UP(A-Changin’World)永不放弃， CHEER UP(Hand in Hand)坚持到底，一起创造 生命奇迹。北京 北京 我爱北京，奥运圣火点燃心中热情。北京 北京 我爱北京，奥运光芒照耀世界的心。

Hopefully I'll have time to translate it later, but maybe someone else is up to the task?
