Sing a song of silverfish, a thimble full of sky.
When Maggie caught the mockingbird, it called her, "Maggie Pie."
When Anna, in her dancing gown, asked all the stones to spin,
The silverfish danced to the gate, and Maggie let them in!
Dandelions, daffodils, and buttercups are we.
We sing our yellow flower songs to butterflies and bees.
The bees buzz in the clover patch, MacKenzie's in the tree.
The butterfly plays in the sun and tickles MacKenzie's knee!
Christina was a ladybug, and Angela was too.
They lived inside a teacup Anna painted all in blue.
They rested on their leaves of grass for half a dreamy day,
Then Anna tossed the teacup up and told them, "Fly away!"
