Mushroom Hill, The Summer House

Listen to poem:
It’s the summer holidays, upon Mushroom Hill The summer house is finished, as painted new There children as gather you can feel the thrill Window glass polished, as to get a better view The summer house is finished as painted new Bright cushions all placed on the wicker chairs Window glass polished, as to get a better view Children fill the sills with toys and teddy bears Bright cushions as placed on the wicker chairs Blackbirds sitting peering from the roof eaves Children fill the sills with toys and teddy bears A magpie lingers to see what bits it can thieve Blackbirds sitting peering from the roof eaves Mums bring cakes, as freshly made lemonade A magpie lingers to see what bits it can thieve Fresh bread sandwiches, lovingly home made Mums bring cakes, as freshly made lemonade Dogs barking loud sending the cat up a height Fresh bread sandwiches, lovingly home made We’re all staying up 'till it is late into the night Dogs barking loud sending the cat up a height There children as gather you can feel the thrill We’re all staying up 'till it is late into the night It’s the summer holidays, upon Mushroom Hill
