Dance on your toes, touch your nose
Reach up high, touch the sky
Bend down low, touch your toe
Jump up now, take a bow
Stomp your feet, take a seat

Then they get raked up into a bunch.

Til someone baked it into pies.

But doesn't say a single word.

Of all the flowers this one's queen
With yellow petals and seeds between.

When you pick it from the patch.
