COME TO MY HOUSE, TEA IS HOT,

COME AND PLAY, ICE-CREAM IS COLD,

COME IN THE MORNING A BABY IS YOUNG,

AND STAY ALL DAY! A GRANDMA IS OLD.

ELEPHANTS CAN WALK, HIS FLOWER IS RED,

TIGERS CAN RUN, HER FLOWERS ARE BLUE,

SNAKES CAN SLIDE, HE HAS ONE

IN RAIN OR SUN. AND SHE HAS TWO.

FOUR LITTLE CATS,

THIS IS MY FATHER,
THREE BIG DOGS,
THAT IS MY MOTHER,
ONE BABY ELEPHANT
SHE IS MY SISTER,
AND TWO FAT FROGS.
I AM HER BROTHER.

WHERE’S MY PENCIL? I’M LICKING MY ICE-CREAM,

WHERE’S MY BOOK? I’M EATING MY CAKE,

THEY AREN’T HERE, I’M DRINKING MY MILK,

OR ANYWHERE I LOOK. AND SWEET TEA I MAKE.

THIS IS MY HEAD, MY BROTHER IS SICK,

THIS IS MY NOSE, MY BROTHER IS ILL,

TEN LITTLE FINGERS, THE DOCTOR SAYS

TEN LITTLE TOES. HE SHOULD TAKE A PILL.

JENNY IS GOING TO SCHOOL, OPEN THE WINDOW,

HER WHITE DRESS IS NEW, SHUT THE DOOR,

SAM IS ALSO GOING, TAKE THE BROOM

AND HIS SHORTS ARE BLUE. AND SWEEP THE FLOOR.

OPEN YOUR BOOK,

FISH CAN SWIM,
PICK UP YOUR PEN,
BIRDS CAN FLY,
WRITE THE NUMBERS
FISH ARE IN THE WATER,
FROM ONE TO TEN.
BIRDS ARE IN THE SKY.

YOUR DRESS IS WHITE, AN ELEPHANT IS BIG,

MY SHIRT IS BLUE, A MONKEY IS SMALL,

YOUR DRESS IS OLD, A SNAKE IS THIN,

MY SHIRT IS NEW. A GIRAFFE IS TALL.

WE LEARN TO READ, WASH YOUR FACE,

WE LEARN TO WRITE WASH YOUR FEET,

AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY, AND WASH YOUR HANDS

AND SLEEP AT NIGHT. BEFORE YOU EAT.

POINT TO THE CEILING, I HAVEN’T GOT A PENCIL,

POINT TO THE FLOOR, I HAVEN’T GOT A PEN,

LOOK AT THE WINDOW,

I CAN’T WRITE MY NAME

LOOK AT THE DOOR.

OR COUNT FROM ONE TO TEN.
MY SISTER IS ILL, SEVEN DAYS IN A WEEK,

SO I WROTE HER A LETTER, TWELVE MONTHS IN A YEAR,

“DEAR SISTER” I WROTE, TWENTY-FOUR HOURS IN A DAY,

“ARE YOU FEELING BETTER?” MY BIRTHDAY´S GETTING NEAR.

LEG AND ARM, YOU MUST BRUSH YOUR TEETH,

ELBOW AND KNEE, EVERY MORNING AND NIGHT,

ANKLE AND WRIST AND THEN YOU WILL SEE,

ON YOU AND ME. THEY ALWAYS LOOK BRIGHT.

WHAT’S YOUR NAME? I’M VERY HUNGRY,

HOW OLD ARE YOU? IT’S TIME TO EAT,

WHERE DO YOU LIVE? RICE AND VEGETABLES,

WHAT DO YOU DO? FISH AND MEAT.

I LIKE APPLES, WHERE ARE YOU GOING,

HE LIKES PEARS, WHY DO YOU RUN?

WE LIKE RUNNING I’M GOING TO THE BAKERY

DOWN THE STAIRS. TO BUY A BUN.

RED AND YELLOW AND PINK AND GREEN THANK YOU FOR THE SUN SO BRIGHT,

PURPLE AND ORANGE AND BLUE. THANK YOU FOR THE STARS AT NIGHT,

I CAN SING A RAINBOW… SING A RAINBOW THANK YOU FOR THE BIRDS THAT SING,

SING A RAINBOW TOO! THANK YOU JUST FOR EVERYTHING!
