Oops a Daisy

"Eeny, meany, miney, moe" 
"We all fall down and go boom" 
"Oops a daisy" and "Shake a leg" 
And my favourite, "Silly baboon" 

Heard 'em all a million times 
Oh to go back to those days 
Just to experience the fun again 
The simple games we played 

Not a single solitary care in the world 
We'd come in for lunch and dinner 
Then off we'd go exploring again 
After all, we were just beginners 

Experiencing things every day 
Like skipping rocks on the pond 
The joys of the world around us 
It was like waving a magic wand 

Too bad we all have to grow up 
Do serious adult like things 
I'd much rather travel back in time 
And jump and skip and sing
