Take Me For a Ride
Mommy, build me an aeroplane
and take me for a ride.
I want to bounce inside the clouds
and touch the sky's insides!
Mommy can't build you an aeroplane
or take you for a ride;
clouds are made of naught but rain,
and the sky has no insides.
Mommy build me a rocket ship
and let's go to the moon,
I want to eat a piece of cheese;
Mommy, let's go soon!
Mommy can't build you a rocket ship
and the moon's not made of cheese;
But Mommy can give you all her love
And provide for all your needs.
Mommy make me a submarine
and I'll play beneath the seas,
I want to sail to the deepest deep;
Let's go, Mommy, please!
Mommy can't make you a submarine
And there is no room for playing;
But we can take this rowboat here,
and Mommy will do the sailing.
Mommy can't build a rocket ship
no aeroplane , no sub;
But she will always be right here
To give you all her love.
