Who's got a romper?
Little Marni Moo
She's got two.
One is a yellow one
And one is blue.
Romper, romper
Who's got a romper?"
And then Marni would say, "Button, button." And mother would button up
her romper all down the back. First one button and then another button
and then another button and then another button, and then another button
and then another button until they were buttoned all down the back.
And then Marni would say, "Sweater." And mother would put on her little
blue sweater saying:
"Sweater, sweater
Who's got a sweater?
Little Marni Moo
She's got two.
One is a yellow one
And one is blue.
Sweater, sweater,
Who's got a sweater?"
And then Marni would say, "Hair." And mother would get the brush and

would say:
"Brush it so
And brush it slow.
Brush it here
And brush it there.
Brush it so
And brush it slow.
And brush it here
And brush it there
And brush it all over your dear little head."
And then Marni would say, "All ready." And mother would put her down on
the floor.

in her pail, and then she'd put another nut in her pail, and then she'd
put another nut in her pail. And then she'd put a marble in her pail,

pail, and then she'd put her fish in her pail, and then she'd put her
frog in her pail. Then she would shake her pail with all of the nuts and
the marbles and the quack-quack and the frog and the fish, and they
would all go bingety-bang, crickety-crack, bingety-bang, crickety-crack.
And Marni would say, "Bingety-bang, crickety-crack. Where Jack-o?" And
Marni would run to find Jack-o, and she would say, "Jack-o, hear
bingety-bang, crickety-crack." And she would rattle her little pail with
all the nuts and the marbles and the quack-quack and the fish and the
frog. Then she'd say, "Where Peter?" And Marni would run to find Peter,
