Track 17: Don't Lock Your Mother in the Pantry - another silly song I wrote for my grandson when he tried to shut his mother in the airing cupboard. Listen out for the marching band going past...

My grandson is a sweetie getting on for three years old

And most of the time he's really very nice

But like all he has his moments and won't do as he is told

So I thought I ought to give him some advice..

 I sang..

 

Don't lock your mother in the pantry

Don't lock your mother in the loo

She would scream and shout

And when you let her out

She'll teach you that it was a very naughty thing to do

So don't lock your mother in the pantry

Listen up I'm telling you true

If she can't make your dinner

You'll end up getting thinner

So don't lock your mother in the loo

 

Don’t lock your sister in the garden

Don’t lock your sister in her room

She may seem rather placid

But things’ll turn quite acid

Until normal service does resume

So don’t lock your sister in the garden

Out there in the cold and the gloom

You know you must desist-a

‘Cos she’s your skin and blister

Don’t lock your sister in her room

 

Don't lock your father in the khazi

Don't lock your father out the door

He might seem quite calm

But you'll tremble with alarm

When you hear your irate father roar

So Don't lock your father in the khazi

Even though his temper is so sweet

He won't muck about

If you dare to lock him out

So don't lock your pa out in the street
