Aunty M's Song

Once there lived a little robin
outside a kitchen door.
He wanted so to go inside
and hop up on the floor.
oh No! said Robin's mother
you'd better stay with me
For little birds are safer
sitting in a tree.
I don't care said Robin
as he gave his tail a fling
I don't think that old folks know quite everything
So into the kitchen fastly
and quicker than a wink
a great big cat had caught him
because he didn't think.

Once a little trap was baited
with a little piece of cheese
It tickled so a little mouse
It almost made him sneeze.
And old grey mouse said "danger!"
Be careful where you go.
Oh Nonsense said the little mouse
I don't think you know.
Mousie walked in boldly
for nobody was in sight
First he took a nibble
Then a great big bite
And the trap snapped fast together
Faster than a wink
It cost poor mouse his life you know
because he didn't think.

Now listen little friends of mine
Who hear this little song
Cant you see what trouble comes
from simply doing wrong
So why not take a warning
from mouse and robin's fate
and let's begin our thinking
before it is too late
Read the Holy Bible,
it will teach you right from wrong
Give your heart to Jesus
Sing this happy song.
Then when Satan comes to tempt you
Just turn to GOd in prayer
For he is there to help you
For God is everywhere.
