There’s sun on the river and sun on the hill
You can hear the sea if you stand quite still
There’s eight new puppies at Roundabout Farm
And I saw an old sailor with only one arm!
But everyone says, ”Run along!”
Run along, run along!
All of them say, “Run along! I’m busy as can be,”
Everyone says, “Run along, there’s a little darling!”
If I’m a little darling, why don’t they run with me?
There’s wind on the river and wind on the hill
There’s a dark dead water-wheel under the mill!
I saw a fly which had just been drowned
And I know where a rabbit goes into the ground!
But everyone says, ”Run along!”
Run along, run along!
All of them say, “Yes, dear,” and never notice me
Everyone says, “Run along, there’s a little darling!”
If I’m a little darling, why won’t they come and see?
