Anish's Song

Anish’s Song (with thanks to R. Harris for the tune)

Son arise earli in the morning
its dark outside
but he’s no longer snoring
he wants to get up now!

Son arise earli in the morning
birds are asleep
but he’s his own dawn chorus
he wants to get up now!

Son arise earli in the morning
mum tries to sleep
but he for Mumlou’s calling,
and he wants to get up now!

* * *

Next door rise earli in the morning
they don’t want to
but they cant stop his bawling,
might as well get up now!

Mumlou rises earli in the morning
she packs her bags
and leaves without a warning
‘cos she has to get out now!
