Once upon a time, in a little shady nook

I gathered up my family, my dollies and a book

 

we all got in the car, then we drove along the trail

to find a river wide enough to set our boat to sail

 

I dressed up all my dollies in thier bathing suits for fun

and sat them on the seat by me, like they were all just one.

 

The water was so blue and it was cool, and there was shade

I set my dollies down to tea, (since it had just been made)

 

we drank our tea and went to swing, my book layed on the ground

We went to sail, and we had fun, with cookies all around

 

I found my book and picked it up, the wind had read it through

I always bring a book along, the wind needs something too.

 

So now we will go home again, and come back another day

The birds are making chirping sounds, Good-bye you all, I wave.
