Mum Taught You That
Listen to Charlie reading the poem ...
Jump on the sofa,
Dive off the bed,
Make a den of blankets,
Wear knickers on your head.
Blow bubbles in your milk,
Jump out and shout BOO!
Launch into puddles,
Put jelly in your shoe.
Dance around the kitchen,
Put bananas in your hat.
And if anyone asks why,
Say your mum taught you that.
Dive off the bed,
Make a den of blankets,
Wear knickers on your head.
Blow bubbles in your milk,
Jump out and shout BOO!
Launch into puddles,
Put jelly in your shoe.
Dance around the kitchen,
Put bananas in your hat.
And if anyone asks why,
Say your mum taught you that.
