T iny little fingers and tiny little toes

E mpty now this life will be, only heaven knows!

T iny little fingers and tiny little toes
O ne year old today, but only day care seems to know

R eady for my party, of that I surely am
E ven if not at home, its sure to be a slam
A ll attend at daycare, even serviceman bill!!
L ittle cake is eaten, provided by director Jill
L astly I am collected, at 6pm my mum is here
Y ou didn't even wish me, happy birthday in my first year.

E ven think of those tiny little toes?
