A JOYFUL SONG OF FIVE

A JOYFUL SONG OF FIVE

Come,let us all sing very highAnd all sing very loudAnd keep on singing in the streetUntil there’s quite a crowd;And keep on singing in the houseAnd up and down the stairs;Then underneath the furnitureLet’s all play Polar bears;And crawl about with doormats on,And growl and howl and squeak,Then in the garden let us flyAnd play at hide and seek;And “Here we gather Nuts and May,”“I wrote a Letter” too,“Here we go round the Mulberry Bush,”“The Child who lost its shoe”;And every game weeverplayed.And then—to stay alive—Let’s end with lots of Birthday CakeBecause to-day you’re five.

Come,let us all sing very highAnd all sing very loudAnd keep on singing in the streetUntil there’s quite a crowd;

And keep on singing in the houseAnd up and down the stairs;Then underneath the furnitureLet’s all play Polar bears;

And crawl about with doormats on,And growl and howl and squeak,Then in the garden let us flyAnd play at hide and seek;

And “Here we gather Nuts and May,”“I wrote a Letter” too,“Here we go round the Mulberry Bush,”“The Child who lost its shoe”;

And every game weeverplayed.And then—to stay alive—Let’s end with lots of Birthday CakeBecause to-day you’re five.
