I'll help to wash the dishes
With bubbling, soapy suds 
I'll even use the proper stuff
Instead of using mud

I'll eat up all my vegies
Even the yucky stuff
No more will I be naughty
And give them to my pup

When Aunty Sue comes visiting
I won't provoke the cat
I'll leave his fur right where it is
So he won't shred her hat

No more will I phone grandma
Who lives across the sea
Or talk and talk for hours
Then say it wasn't me

I'll leave the frogs and beetles
Out on the garden path
Instead of hiding them in my pockets
And putting them in mummy's bath

I'm mummy's little angel
She helped to write my list
I think I'll wake her up now
With a great big hug and kiss
