SEE SEE MY PLAYMATE

SEE SEE MY PLAYMATE.
COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME.
AND BRING YOUR DOLLIE THREE.
CLIMB UP MY APPLE TREE.
SLIDE DOWN MY RAIN BARREL
INTO MY CELLAR DOOR
AND WE'LL BE JOLLY FRIENDS
FOREVERMORE. MM
IT WAS A SUNNY DAY.
SHE COULD NOT COME TO PLAY.
WITH TEARDROPS IN HER EYES,
I'M SAD TO SAY,
"SO SORRY PLAYMATE
I CANNOT PLAY WITH YOU.
MY DOLLIE'S GOT THE FLU.
BOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.
AIN'T GOT NO RAIN BARREL
OR NO CELLAR DOOR.
BUT WE'LL BE JOLLY FRIENDS
FOREVERMORE."

Submitter comment: THIS CAN BE SUNG WHILE TWO PEOPLE CLAP AND PAT HANDS.
