When I�m a little old lady
Then I�ll live with my children and bring them great joy
to repay all I�ve had from each girl and boy
I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the floor;
run in and out without closing the door.
I�ll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed
whenever they scold me, I�ll just hang my head.
I�ll run and I�ll romp, always fritter away
the time to be spent doing chores everyday.
I�ll pester my children when they�re on the phone.
As long as they�re busy won�t leave them alone.
Hide candy in closets, rocks in drawers,
and never pick up my clothes from off the floor.
Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish.
I�ll plead for allowance whenever I wish.
I�ll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor,
as soon as they�ve mopped it, I�ll flood it some more.
When they correct me, I�ll lie down and cry,
kicking and screaming, not a tear in my eye.
I�ll take all their pencils and flashlights, and then
when they buy new ones, I�ll take them again.
I�ll spill glasses of milk to complete every meal,
eat my banana and just drop the peel.
Put toys on the table, spill jam on the floor,
I�ll break lots of dishes as though I was four;
What fun I shall have, what a joy it will be
To live with my children, like they lived with me!
It is me... it will happen
