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
