The best thing about being a kid...
has got to be the toys,
I remember when I was a girl,
the things that brought me joy.
Remember Raggedy Ann,
and her friend Andy?
The easy bake oven,
you could bake cakes and candy.
We collected garbage pail kid cards,
They were pretty gross.
We played jump rope and hop scotch,
hoola hoops, and dosey doed.
I loved my Rock em Sock em Robots,
that was the greatest thing!
back in the days of the slinky,
and the tire swing.
They try to bring things back,
It's just not the same.
Every generation has to twist things up,
They think they are better changed.
They have new Cabbage Patch kids,
A new Strawberry shortcake too,
There are new Carebears,
They even redid Scooby Doo.
I could go on all day...
about the things from my youth.
I would rather go out and play,
There's so much I can still do.
