Oh, say can you see a little thing like me
Oh, say can you hear me call you Mommy dear
Oh, say can we look inside the children’s book
Oh, say can you smile and stay for a while
Oh say can you give as long as you live

(by Diana Wiles)
Oh say can you love like a sweet Turtle Dove
Oh say can you sing like a bird on the wing
Oh say can you roam yet always come home
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, say can you walk as fast as you can talk
Oh, say can you teach my mind how to reach
Oh, say can you deal with the sadness I feel
Oh, say can you prance like the pony wanting to dance
Oh, say can you doubt or do you know what it is all about
Oh, say can you kiss my heart with such bliss
Oh, say can you doodle a cute fluffy poodle
Oh, say can you hark to the call of a lark
Oh, say can you whine when we start to dine
Oh, say can you jump over the great, big hump
Oh, say can you dive into everything you strive
Oh, say can you baulk at the words that I talk
Oh, say can you dream about the moonbeam
Oh, say can you flitter regarding the puppy litter
Oh, say can you taste without making haste
Oh, say can you whistle when you’re lost in the thistle
Oh, say can you whittle words down that are brittle
Oh, say can you vision the life you’ll be given
Oh, say can you tug my arms for a hug
Oh, say can you chug the water from the mug
Oh, say can you dash through the crowd for some cash
Oh, say can you dare to let down your hair
Oh, say can you wonder about the sound of thunder
Oh, say can you swing as good as you can sing
Oh, say can you ring my phone a ding-a-ling
Oh, say can you save these words that I gave
