Children play ring around a rosie laugh and sing like you always do
Children play ring around a rosie mommy will be home in a day or two

Remember the story I read to you when I tucked you in last night
About the pretty princess who loved the party life
Well that's the way that mommy is but she'll be home after while
So dry your tears my little ones and give your daddy a smile
Children play ring around a rosie

Mommy's away at the castle now where party people go
She's likely dancing with the king her pretty eyes aglow
But she'll be home on Sunday dears to go to church with us
We'll tell her not to leave again cause we love her so much
