Written for February Album Writing Month 2011
(For Ella Osenga)
lyrics
Some kids like skipping
Some like to hop
some kids will race you
Others will not
But I know a girl named Elizabeth Clare
Eyes so blue and skin so fair
Feet so swift air
She'll and dance twirl most everywhere
Ella, oh sweet Ella
Ella
Some kids have hamsters
Some kids have frogs
Everyone knows that a boy loves his dog
But I know a chick with feathered feet
Snow white wings and a yellow beak
She squawks and clucks and pecks and peeps
She charms most anyone she meets
Popcorn, oh sweet Popcorn
Popcorn
Two little ladies
Precious as pie
Play in the garden
Chasing the sky
They tweet and peep and dance and twirl
A sultan hen and a little girl
Ella, oh Ella
Loves Popcorn
Ella loves Popcorn
