Mommie, I wanna hat with cherries I want some big red berries If I must have a lid Daddy said I did, oh... Mommie, don't want no baby bonnet Don't want no ruffles on it You know I'm just a kid, just a kid... Can't you see, Mommie dear, It would help my looks Daddy said in a hat I'd be cute as Baby Snooks... So, Mommie, don't wanna hat with roses Don't want no ribbon poses To cover up my head, I said I wanna hat with cherries, Big red squashy berries, Like the time with the chocolate cake Will I get such a tummy ache? If I eat that hat with cherries, Mama dear.
