Margaret goes to bed around eight
I go to bed around one
Margaret gets up at six
I get up at six
Four days a week and you’re a family
Four days a week, fortunes
Oh Margaret
Margaret is willing to share her food
Share her thick brown hair
Margaret is willing to share her toys
Share her deep brown eyes
Repeat Chorus
Sundown and the clouds cover up the stars
One down, but before she closes her eyes
It all comes out; she speaks all the words she knows
Her lungs so small
Her breath so warm
Repeat First Verse and Chorus
