Mama I Want To Play

Mama I Want to Play… with apologies to Frank Loesser Layla, my puppy: I really can’t stay Me: (But Layla I asked you to) I wanna go play (Oh puppy I’m begging you) This sit and not run (you are so sweet) is killing me (I promise you a special treat) I gotta just go, go, go (Can’t you slow down just a bit?) I’m not trying to make you mad (Pup you always make me so glad) I really can’t stay (can we try it again?) Mama I want to play! I’m just a young pup (Layla, I know that’s true) So please don’t give up (Something I’d never do) I’m trying so hard to learn the way (And you get better every day!) Oh, mama I love you so (You are my special girl) It’s just you and me I know (I’m glad that you are part of my world) I really can’t stay, mama I want to play (I'll play with you today!}
