Lyrics
I Wish, I Wish
Down upon the ground there was an acorn
High up in a tree there was a squirrel
She came down the tree to get the acorn
Then she looked at me, so I said to the squirrel
Chorus
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
She tried very hard to get the acorn
That's when I began to chase the squirrel
'Round and 'round the tree she pushed the acorn
Then she looked at me, so I said to the squirrel
Chorus
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
You never gonna get the acorn without me
Never gonna get it alone
You never gonna get the acorn without me
Never gonna get it alone
Chorus
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
I wish, I wish to play with you
Oh, can't you play with me
(repeat Chorus ...)
Come play with me
