I reside in a house
Very near the wood
But I’d prefer to live in a street
If and when I could
The lanes are so quiet
And I do feel all alone
How I wish I could play
And not just sit and moan
I have no friends to play with
And so am indeed sad
The trees are high and tall here
I feel the situation’s quite bad
I wouldn’t know what to do
If it had not been for the flowers
And for the bees and birds
That adorn the neighboring bowers.
I wish I could go and live
Permanently in a town
See the buses pass by
And wear a silken gown
The neon lighted streets are a wonder
They are indeed a sight at night
And I intend going and seeing them
And watch the lights twinkling bright.
