When I played the rusty flute
The toucan tuned its tambourine,
Maddie, the monkey, made marvellous marshmallows,
An alligator ate an adorable apple,
A baby baboon bent a banana,
A rotten raspberry rolled off the roller coaster.
When I played the rusty flute
A dice sang,
A Rolls-Royce screamed as it got scratched,
The clock cried as it ran out of batteries,
A wine bottle danced to the music,
And a clothes hanger tightened its bow tie.
When I played the rusty flute
A Chow Chow barked like a pit bull,
The owl slept like a koala,
Waves crashed as loud as thunder,
The baby was as fragile as glass,
And the car zoomed by like the flash.
After I sat down the rusty flute in its ancient case,
I hid away my memories,
Locked them away with chains and
Locked up my heart, with its love and compassion.
