Please Mum?

Can you buy me a doll mum
can you buy me a dress,
can you buy me some paints mum
so I can make a mess!

Can you make some cakes mum
can you make me a mask,
can you make me a cubby mum
you know it's not much that I ask!

Can we go to the park mum
can we go out to eat,
can we go to Kentucky mum
it's about time we had a treat!

Can I have an apple mum
can I have a toffee,
can I have a bath now mum
you don't really want that coffee!

You can have your coffee mum
you can have your cup of tea,
you can have a break now mum
but please please untie me!
