#7: Trouble on the Rooftop

(sung to the tune of "Up on the Rooftop")

Up on the rooftop, what's that then?
Our child has escaped again.
Out through the window, down the spout
How does that little one get out?

Uh uh oh!
Look at him go!
Uh uh oh!
Look at her go!

Oh, out through the back door
Quick as can be,
Off down the sidewalk
So merrily.

Wanders around the neighborhood --
This escaping's just no good.
Wanders the highway, goes to town.
Call the police to hunt him down.

Uh uh oh!
Go on home!
Uh uh oh!
Don't ever roam!

Don't sneak up the chimney
Or through the dog door
Stay in your room
Forever more.

Next: "You Better Watch Out"

See complete song list below.
