Lil' Lass
Why, you're no bigger than a minute.
Were home a snake hole you'd fit in it.
Were lunch but a starving mouse
'Twould bust the buttons off your blouse.
Should you ever shed your skin
You'd disappear into air thin.
And I'd need a magnifying glass
To see your smile, lil' lass.
Were home a snake hole you'd fit in it.
Were lunch but a starving mouse
'Twould bust the buttons off your blouse.
Should you ever shed your skin
You'd disappear into air thin.
And I'd need a magnifying glass
To see your smile, lil' lass.

Today it's so sonnig and hot
I feel like I'm going to fry.
I've polished off ein popsicle.
Jetzt a kalt cone I'll try.
If that doesn't do the Streich
A strawberry sundae might.
God, I am grateful for ice cream
On Sommer tage sizzling and bright!

A Piggy
A piggy is an animal
With a curly tail
Who squeals and oinks and mudbathes
And eats lunch from a pail.

Halloween Song
Halloween is coming soon.
Boo! The ghosts in chorus croon.
See the corpse rise from its tomb.
See the witch ride on her broom.
Zoom!
