Let's Pretend

(albüm: Tom Paxton's Children's Songbook - 1974)

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend

Let's be a p'liceman, a p'liceman, a p'liceman
Let's be a p'liceman now
Blow your whistle as loud as you can
Catch the burglar, burglar man
Take him away and throw him in the can
Let's be a p'liceman now

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend

Let's be a teacher, a teacher, a teacher
Let's be a teacher now
Teaching all the ABC's
Write on the blackboard big as you please
These are the leaves and these are the trees
Let's be a teacher now

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend

Let's be a monkey, a monkey, a monkey
Let's be a monkey now
Hang up in a monkey tree
Make a funny face and scratch your knee
Best little monkey that you ever did see
Let's be a monkey now

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend

Let's be a gray wolf, a grey wolf, a grey wolf
Let's be a gray wolf now
Growling wolf on four gray feet
Mean and ugly and not very sweet
Looking for something nice to eat
Let's be a gray wolf now

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend

Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
