Budge up You say As you clamber into my warm, cosy bed The street lies quiet, not yet awake Thoughts of the working day flood my head Play Mummy play And I remind myself You won’t do this forever So enjoy it while I can You clutch your lamb In your dimpled hands Play cats Mummy Your laughter fills the room As I throw your lamb Across the bed You pounce on it like a cat And put it on my head A simple game makes you smile A gem in time I want to pocket And cherish for a while And I remind myself again You won’t do this forever So enjoy it while I can.
