Lyrics

I wonder if you thought if I might

sing a song and then dance all around.

I thought you might just sing a little song

but there you go, you're dancing all around.

I wanted to dance around, too.

But I'm just wearing my little blue shoes.

And they are not good for the dancing.

They scuff the floors and that really sucks.

I wonder if I could buy some new shoes

At the shop down the street on the old left.

I wonder if that's north or south

or maybe it is east or it is west.

I thought I might sing a wee song

and I wonder if this is the right one to do.

I thought I might be a little bird now

but look here, I guess I am a shrew. I

thought I liked these snails for breakfast

but they were actually gum drops.

I wonder how they make those gumdrops

so meaty and squishy in my mouth.

I thought perhaps this song would be much better

than the last one that I did put out but

I guess I am really not good, but

I'll keep trying. That's what I am about.

I thought perhaps we could go over

and sing a song and wiggle all about.

I thought perhaps of wiggling my tushy

and flinging my arms all about.

I wonder if my arms they would go flappy

if I just let them all about.
