Then I'll live with my children and bring them great joy To repay all I've had from each girl and boy

I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the floor Run in and out without closing the door

I'll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed Whenever they scold me I'll hang my head

I'll run and I'll romp always fritter away The time to be spent doing chores every day

I'll pester my children when they are on the phone As long as they're busy I won't leave them alone

Hide candy in closets, rocks in the drawer And never pick up my clothes from the floor

Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish I'll plead for an allowance whenever I wish

I'll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor As soon as they've moped it I'll flood it some more

When they correct me I'll lie down and cry Kicking and screaming not a tear in my eye

I'll take all their pencils and flashlights, and then When they buy new ones, I'll take them again

I'll spill glasses of milk to complete every meal Eat my banana and just drop the peel

Put toys on the table, spill jam on the floor I'll break lots of dishes as though I were four
