I think my house is the nicest house
There is in the world, don't you?
It has a big backyard with a swing
And a little front yard, too.

It has an attic where I can hide
And a closet under the stair;
I never leave my toys in the yard
But carefully put them there.

It has a kitchen with smells I like
When I come in from play,
And my room upstairs where I build my blocks
Or draw on a rainy day.

It's green and white, oh, I like my house
Much better than any other,
Because and whenever I come inside
Why, there, you see, is my mother!
