Oopsi 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 over
Oh to go back to those days
Just to experience the fun again
The oh so simple games we played
Not a solitary care in this old world
We'd come in for lunch and dinner
Then off we'd go exploring again
After all, we were just beginners
Experiencing new things every day
Like skipping rocks on the pond
The joys of the world were around us all
It was like waving a magic wand
It's really too bad we have to grow up
Do serious adult like things
I'd much rather travel way back in time
And jump and skip and sing
