Tisn'T Fittin'

Tisn't Fittin' 
 (Children's song music & lyrics by Joan Donnelly Ellis 1992)

Tisn't fittin for a kitten to wear a mitten
 Tisn't fitten for a spider to terrify
 Tisn't fittin for a doggy to wear cowboy boots
 But it's OK for a Daddy to cry

Tisn't fittin for a turtle to use chop sticks
 No sir, not even if he is Chinese, still tisn't fittin
 Tisn't fittin for a worm to hook a walleye
 Tisn't fittin for a bull frog to moo like a cow
 But it's OK for a Daddy to cry

Tisn't fittin for grasshopper to play leap frog
 Tisn't fittin for a pirate to shanghai
 Tisn't fittin for a bunny to play hopscotch
 No sir, not even if she's a champion hopper, still tisn't fittin
 But it's OK for a Daddy to cry

Tisn't fittin for giraffe to tetter-totter
 Tisn't fittin to lasso a butterfly 
 Tisn't fittin for a Stallion to play horseshoes
 But it's OK for a Daddy to cry
 Yes, it's OK for a Daddy to cry
 Yes, it's OK for a Daddy to cry
