May I
Gordon Lightfoot Finders, keepers, losers, weepers Ring around the rosy and I'll catch you if I can But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten And if you don't say may I, then you'll have to start again Let the game begin I adore you when you touch me Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win And if you don't say may I, then I'll pass the cake around And I won't give you any, but you won't make a sound You don't eat soap, anyhow Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light But if you don't say may I, then I'll march you out the door You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do Where you'll be contemplating the numbers one to four Cause if you don't say may I, then I'll get you with the hose I hope you're keeping score And spoil your Sunday clothes Will it please you if I tease you You don't eat blackbird anyhow While you're at the spindry, I'll pass the pie around There's four and twenty reasons why it can't be wrong But you won't make a sound How long have you been gone Finders, keepers, losers, weepers Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers |
