Tune: Six Little Ducks
Five little mommies I once knew,
Nice ones, pretty ones, cool ones, too,
And the one in the middle that belongs to me...
I love her and she loves me!
Down to the supermarket we would go,
Wibble - wobble, wibble - wobble, to and fro,
And the one in the middle that belongs to me,
I love her and she loves me! 


Tune: Twinkle, twinkle little star
Sometimes, Mom says, "Don't do this,"
Sometimes, Mom says, "Don't do that,"

Why? Because she tells me so.
Sometimes, Mom says, "Let's do this!"
Sometimes, Mom says, "Kiss, kiss, kiss!"

Care of me, care of me,
Mommy takes good care of me,
Because she loves me so.
