It's Don't YOU make the slightest noise,
And Don't lie on the floor
And Don't YOU break your pretty toys"
And Don't YOU open the door,
And Don't You dare go near the press, "
Ind 'Don't you touch the cat
And Don't you make your clothes a
mess"
And Don't do this and that
I'm only 6. but yet I'VE found
There's nothing J would do
But what there's some one close around
Has got Don't or two.
