Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Queen of the Mountain

Queen of the Mountain

Queen of the Mountain

Run and skip, jump and fall.
You think you're tall, but you're so small.
Mother calls for supper. No more play.
Soon they'll come tomorrow, Another day.

Cho: Singin' hay ladida, oh ladidi
     Oly otindo and ali oxen free.
     Oh, I can run faster than Jimmy Brown.
     I'm the queen of the mountain,
     And you'll never get me down.

Gotta get up early. Got a lot to do.
Gonna build a castle and go to the zoo,
Visit Mother Goose and storybook land.
Why does mommy hold my hand?

I'm pretty old now: five and a half.
Gonna be like Daddy and never laugh.
Cuz when you're old, you've got to be strong.
You're not a child for very long.

I'm full-grown now, on my own.
How I wish I could go back home.
And play all day with my old friends.
Why does childhood have to end?
