I like white pajamas with purple polka dots
White pajamas with purple polka dots I like a lot
Every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and I dance around in
White pajamas with bright purple polka dots
I like yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
Every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and I dance around in
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick out
White pajamas with bright purple polka dots.
I like knitted hats with pom-poms on the top
The red hat that granny knitted with pom-poms on the top
Every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and I dance around in
A red hat with pom-poms on the top
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
White pajamas with bright purple polka dots.
I like bright green mittens with a bright blue stripe
Bright green mittens with a blue stripe I think look alright
Every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and I dance around in
Bright green mittens with a bright blue stripe
A red hat with pom-poms on the top
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
