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 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
