A Song We Can See lyrics
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Here’s a song that we can see
Twinkle twinkle little star
Circus clowns and bumper cars
Humpty Dumpty and three-Blind-Mice
Pecan pie that tastes so nice
Mary’s lamb and Jack and Jill
Climbing up then rolling down the hill
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Here’s a song that we can see
Peacock Pie and Fairy Tales
Snow White lambs and small pink whales
Gingerbread men and chocolate cows
Choo choo trains and cotton wool clouds
Orange trees and purple bumble bees
Singing as they fly in the orange sky
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Here’s a song that we can see
Magic dust and rabbit hats
Talking ducks and barking cats
Marching bands and soldier toys
Laughing dogs and teddy bear boys
Wheels of the bus going round and round
Taking us home from shopping in town
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
Here’s a song that we can see
Here’s a song that we can see
Paul Robert Thomas
