When Mommy & Daddy don't listen to me,
I can suspend them for a minute, or 2, or 3
Cuz after all, I'm busy too,
I've got a million things to do.
All my Quidams are on the go,
Ready to move & give a show.
Like there's Johnny & my friend, Karl,
When they grumble, never snarl,
If I don't tell them very soon,
Which one I'll take on my honeymoon.
So I consult my shamanitas in blue,
They tell me Johnny's a giant too big for me,
And one day he might be untrue.
Now Karl is a sweet, but frantic romantic,
He'll fly with ease from the highest trapeze,
to prove his love, for a turtledove.
The truth is, I'm not quite ready for Karl or John,
This is no time for me to marry,
When the world is in such a terrible mess.
S.O.S. to every Quidam!
To Mommy & Dad & all my friends,
Like Funny Bunny, who's a genius in ecology,
lovey-dovey & astrology.
Where's my Robin Hood with stripes forever,
So we can get our act together?
When Quidams go marching in,
rump-pa-ba-bump with a jolly din,
You'll wanna be in that number,
Out of the deep, mysterious slumber.
And far from human astronauts,
You shall become true argonauts,
Kiddy-Quidams, & beautiful forget-me-nots!
