Gordon Lightfoot
May I
[Verse 1]
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Ring around the rosy and I'll catch you if I can
But if you don't say may I, then you'll have to start again
But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
Let the game begin

[Verse 2]
I adore you when you touch me
Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
But if you don't say may I, then I'll pass the cake around
And I won't give you any, but you won't make a sound
You don't eat soap anyhow

[Verse 3]
Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
You could take three giant steps or a baby step will do
But if you don't say may I, then I'll march you out the door
Where you'll be contemplating the numbers one to four
I hope you're keeping score
'Cause if you don't say may I, then I'll get you with the hose
And spoil your Sunday clothes

[Verse 4]
Will it please you if I tease you?
While you're at the spin dry, I'll pass the pie around
But you won't make a sound
You don't eat blackbirds anyhow
There's four and twenty reasons why it can't be wrong
How long have you been gone?
[Outro]
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers
