Little Natalie, our girl,
Got ready to go to Bali.
She took a backpack and a suitcase,
So many things! What's in there?
A crossword to keep from getting bored,
And beads to make a bracelet, look!
Here's Lucy the doll, and a crocodile,
So plush and so very cute!
Here are some balloons, too.
― What are they for?
― I'll launch them up into the sky,
And send you letters on them!
― Well, all right, and what else?
― A bear-shaped backpack on my shoulder,
A mermaid and, of course, a cat,
And next to them, a plush raccoon.
And magazines, about fifteen of them,
The rest had to stay behind,
They just won't fit, what a shame!
― Where does it all go, where?
― Give me the backpack! It helped so much:
In goes a bucket, in goes a shovel,
And molds for the sand,
Plus two socks with a little puppy.
Our little Natalie
Wanted to go to Bali,
But she was so small,
So she only took her toys.
Don't cry, little Natalie!
You left your dresses behind,
But there will be a new wardrobe,
Just give your hands a little clap!
But don't forget, not ever,
Clothes are important, you know!
