Rain splashes on roses and whiskers on cats
Freshly polished copper and buried treasures
Soft little stuffed animals and hard packages
Everyone belongs to the best I know
Scary ponies and freshly baked strudels
Dates and poodles and schnitzel with noodles
Birds flying towards the distant planet
It also belongs to Next thing I know
Girls in long skirts and blue silk shawls
Snowfall with flakes like singles and valleys
Spring that comes to winter's misery
It belongs is also the best thing I know
When a dog bites, when a bee stings
When my joy moves
Then I just think the best I know
And then I'll be happy again
Maria:
What's the best you know?
The children:
Go and swim!
Climb trees!
New governesses!
Toads and frogs!
Telegram!
Lick the bowls!< br/>When dad is home...
Football in the meadow when dad is home
New governess who is fun to scare
Toads in the bed and cookie dough
It's all part of the best I know
Plumbing in the river and climbing the trees
Concussions, broken arms and scrubbing ¥r on my knees
Little telegram with a big secret
It's also one of the best things I know
When a dog bites...
