Tom Paxton - Let's Pretend lyrics
[Tom Paxton - Let's Pretend lyrics]
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
Let's be a p'liceman, a p'liceman
A p'liceman let's be a p'liceman now
Blow your whistle as loud as you can
Catch the burglar, burglar man
Take him away and throw him in the can
Let's be a p'liceman now
Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
Let's be a teacher, a teacher, a teacher
Let's be a teacher now
Teaching all the ABC's
Write on the blackboard big as you please
These are the leaves and these are the trees
Let's be a teacher now
Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
Let's be a monkey, a monkey, a monkey
Let's be a monkey now
Hang up in a monkey tree
Make a funny face and scratch your knee
Best little monkey that you ever did see
Let's be a monkey now
Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
Let's be a gray wolf, a grey wolf
A grey wolf let's be a gray wolf now
Growlin' wolf on four gray feet
Mean and ugly and not very sweet
Lookin' for something nice to eat
Let's be a gray wolf now
Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
Let's pretend, just you and me
Be whatever you want to be
You will be my secret friend
And we'll play let's pretend
