When you leave, take me with you.
Let’s go run away.
I’ll meet you at your house
at the end of the day.

Please bring poor Bill
He will have fun.
Let’s take him each place
under the sun.

And also bring Smokey
and Mrs. Kitty too.
Don’t separate them.
They’ll start feeling blue.

I’ll bring Sebastian
He’s too sweet to leave.
Our parents will miss us
Our buddies will grieve.

But who cares about them?
They don’t need us there
If we leave late at night
They might not even care.

I’ll take you with me.
We’ll go run away.
I’ll be at your house
at the end of today.
