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
