Lyrics
English
Sunday Morning
Mummy yells,
“Your room’s so dirty,
Clean this mess.”
Under my bed
Was my wet swimsuit,
A half-eaten cake,
Smelly canvas shoes.
On the floor were
Bubblegum wrappers.
Pencil sharpenings
And potato wafers.
At last when
I cleaned my room
With dustcloth, mop,
Dustpan and broom,
Dear Daddy smiled
And Granny cooed,
Granpa hugged me
Over the moon.
“Mum calls me ______”
“Mum calls me ______”
But when she calls me
‘Her darling’
I like that BEST!
Mummy yells,
“Your room’s so dirty,
Clean this mess.”
Under my bed
Was my wet swimsuit,
A half-eaten cake,
Smelly canvas shoes.
On the floor were
Bubblegum wrappers.
Pencil sharpenings
And potato wafers.
At last when
I cleaned my room
With dustcloth, mop,
Dustpan and broom,
Dear Daddy smiled
And Granny cooed,
Granpa hugged me
Over the moon.
“Mum calls me ______”
“Mum calls me ______”
But when she calls me
‘Her darling’
I like that BEST!
