Recess
I'm a little Dutch girl
Dressed in blue.
Here are the things
I like to do:
Salute to the captain,
Bow to the queen,
Turn my back
On the submarine.
I can do the tap dance,
I can do the splits,
I can do the hokie pokie
Just like this.
Cinderella dressed in yellow
Went downstairs to kiss a fellow.
Ice cream soda, lemonade punch
Tell me the name of your honeybunch.
Spanish dancers turn around
Spanish dancers touch the ground
Spanish dancers to the kicks
Spanish dancers do the splits
Mabel, Mabel set the table
Just as fast as you are able
And don't. Forget.
Theredhotpeppers
I love coffee
I love tea
I love the boys
And the boys love me.
Oh, that's the bell.
I dibs first in line.
I enjoyed that. I really, really liked it...Mary

What a great idea, to photograph those beautiful dresses on a clothesline outside - they look great, as does your yard...so green and pretty.
Wish I could sew as well as you do. Or at all, really! :)
