Swing, Sweet Child
Swing, sweet child
Kick your legs high
Swing, sweet child
Reach for the sky
The swing's your pendulum
Gather momentum
The world's your proscenium
Elicit oohs and aahs from the plenum
Pull hard, sweet child, with all of your might
Extend your reach upward to maximum height
Rock the frame of the swing-set till the dusk of twilight
Your silhouette framed against newborn starlight
Your wondrous display of finesses linked with brawn
Has all those assembled cheering you on
As you soar over sandbox and adjacent green lawn
In your best party dress of pink lace chiffon ...
Swing, sweet child
Kick your legs high
Swing, sweet child
Reach for the sky
