Tisn'T Fittin'

Tisn't Fittin' (Children's song music & lyrics by Joan Donnelly Ellis 1992) Tisn't fittin for a kitten to wear a mitten Tisn't fitten for a spider to terrify Tisn't fittin for a doggy to wear cowboy boots But it's OK for a Daddy to cry Tisn't fittin for a turtle to use chop sticks No sir, not even if he is Chinese, still tisn't fittin Tisn't fittin for a worm to hook a walleye Tisn't fittin for a bull frog to moo like a cow But it's OK for a Daddy to cry Tisn't fittin for grasshopper to play leap frog Tisn't fittin for a pirate to shanghai Tisn't fittin for a bunny to play hopscotch No sir, not even if she's a champion hopper, still tisn't fittin But it's OK for a Daddy to cry Tisn't fittin for giraffe to tetter-totter Tisn't fittin to lasso a butterfly Tisn't fittin for a Stallion to play horseshoes But it's OK for a Daddy to cry Yes, it's OK for a Daddy to cry Yes, it's OK for a Daddy to cry
