D,A,Y,T
DO AS YOUR TOLD!
No ifs,no buts or whys or hows,
mum says just do as your told.
But why? I'll try if that's your cry.
Well I don't want you catching a cold.
Catch a cold, do as I'm told
with no ifs or buts as you say.
At six years old I'm as good as gold
if that's why and how I should play.
If mum.
No!
But mum.
No!
Why mum.
No!
How am I going to say
I'll not catch a cold, I'll do as I'm told
and I'll stay in the house all day.
