Mama Says

One dish
Two dish
Red dish
Blue dish

Black dish
Blue dish
Old dish
New dish

In the sink
Near and far
Say what a lot of dishes there are!

Some I’ve cleaned twice already
Some have ancient hard spaghetti

When I look into the sink,
What a lot of thinks I think

Would you could you
Do a chore?
Would you could you
Since you are so bored?

What? What’s that you say?
Maybe on a rainy day?
Kids are only supposed to Play?

Listen to me
And listen now:
I will tell you what
And I will tell you how

You may not pull your sister’s hair
You may not hit her anywhere

You may not leave your toys about
You may not scream, you may not shout

You may not run inside the house!
And you may not keep that little mouse!

Why do I tell you what to do?
Because my dear,
You are two.

You will not talk to me that way
I will take your priveledges away

And how many times must I say
The Play Doh can’t sit out all day!


Fine then, we are going out!
Get your shoes, and stop that pout!

Comb your hair!
Brush your teeth!
Quick like a bunny
And make it neat!

Left foot
Left foot
Right foot
Right
Get your jacket
Zip up tight

Are you listening to me?
Ok now, who has to pee?

From here to there
From there to here
Yes, you must wear
Your underwear.
