A doll with a hat, a ball in her hand
An apple for her to munch and stand.
Along comes a cat, with a graceful stride
With a glass of milk by her side.

A frog jumps by, with a ribbit so loud
An egg in his mouth, he's proud.
He rolls the ball, to the doll and the cat
And they all laugh, just like that.

The apple is eaten, the glass is all gone
The frog takes a nap, before the day is done.
The doll with the hat, holds the ball with glee
And the cat whispers softly, "Come play with me."

So let's all play, with the doll, the hat, the ball
And the apple, the cat, the glass, the frog, and all.
For there's so much fun, to be had each day
With friends like these, what more can you say!
