In the corner, Up the Stairs, “Yum, Yum are you there?”
Behind the table, behind the chairs; I will close my eyes and pretend
You are an angel dancing in my fluffy, coiled, curly & unruly hair!
“Look, I am holding your soft brown, cuddle teddy bear!
“Blow a kiss up in the air! Touch your knees! wiggle your nose!
Bend your toes!” Smiling, laughing, feel your dark brown Afro!
Is it soft? Is it hard? Am I near? Am I far?
“Yum, Yum, I see you! One, two, three, look at those tiny, mighty feet!
Red, white and blue, brave colors!”
Can I have those pretty shoes? Now where did you go?”
Up the stairs, under the chair, mmmmmh!
Yum, Yum, look! I am right here, by the chair,
Blow a kiss up in the air! I see you, peek a boo!’
Can you say the word “Mooooooo?”
Red, gold and green; “Now make a face that is really mean!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! I see your face, smiling, laughing,
May I touch your afro as you move to and fro?
Its’ time for a treat, “No, its’ not peach!” Taste, mmmh, not too sweet!
It’s Jell-oooooo from the coconut tree.
One, two three, now its time to sleep.
Look at those stars! Maybe it’s Mars!
On your pillow, on your sheet.
Can you say these colors with me?
Yellow, Black Gold, & Green, rich with the sun, shining on you and me,
Let’s say it again, “Yellow, Black, Gold & Green
Make that face, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Wow! That face seems so really mean!
Yum, Yum, I see you! Hiding under the colorful sheet
fast, so fast, asleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“Goodnight, I too, must go to sleep!”
