I got out of bed and came here for adventure.

I stepped on a stone on the way.
  B7          E          D#m        G#m
I took off my shoe and a dog came towards me
E           F#        B    B7
wagging his tail happily.

E                 F#           B
Dog, if you could speak, you'd know what to do.

Simply turn around and run.

Dog, if you could speak, you bury your bone
        E           F#       B
and you show me the way back home.

Got out of bed, and I put on my sun suit.

Blue checky shirt and a dress.

Nothing was left for a girl in pajamas.

No breakfast, no kindness, no cake.

Girl, if you could speak, you’d know what to do
E           F#        B    B7
Ages left a gift with you

Rent a cheap second-hand crystal ball

I will trust my future to you

Green leafs and blue sky and sun

You’d sit and let the world go round

In the stories when the day is done
