And she'll know right from wrong
Don't wanna comb my hair and where's my teddy bear?
Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there?
I'll help her along and she'll be strong
I gotta tell her what she needs to know
Quizzical kid, she doesn't want anything here
We'll make a plan
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
And mama, hey look at the cowboy coming there
Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
And finally send her out into the world somewhere
Just forever to manage to know who what why or where
Mama, hey mama, can I go over there?
Inquisitive child, sometimes the questions get wild
Hey mama, what is square? And where do we get air?
And what's that doing there? And where're they going there?
She's gonna need to know some reasons why
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
And mama can I have that big elephant over there?
And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?
And who's that in my chair? And what's he doing there?
And can I have a pair of boots like that to wear?
Hey mummy, what is fair? How come I have to share?
I don't have all the answers but I'll try to do what I can
The time will march days will go
You give the kid your best and hope she’ll pass the test
And little baby's going to grow
Hey why they do that there? And how you put that there?
And mama can I have that big elephant over there?
Like mommy can I have that big elephant over there?
As life's parade goes marching by
And though she's grown up I bet I never will forget
