Granny
When Granny comes to stop with us she always loves to play;
She talks to every single doll and knows just what to say.
You haven’t got to tell her why and lots of things explain,
She’s been a little girl like me and wants to be again!
She knows Eliza’s got a cough and only has one lung,
She knows Matilda’s very bad and says, “Put out your tongue.”
She always has a penny for the sweetshop in the lane,
She’s been a little girl like me and wants to be again!
She knows a lot of lovely songs and every nursery rime,
She always knows that three o’clock is such a hungry time;
She lets me hold all by myself the ‘brella in the rain—
I’m glad she’s been a little girl and wants to be again!
