There's sun on the river and sun on the hill ...
You can hear the sea if you stand quite still!
There's eight new puppies at Roundabout Farm —
And I saw an old sailor with only one arm!
But every one says, " Run along! "
(Run along, run along!)
All of them say " Run along! I'm busy as can be. "
Every one says, " Run along,
There's a little darling! "
If I'm a little darling, why don't they run with me?

There's wind on the river and wind on the hill ...
There's a dark dead water-wheel under the mill!
I saw a fly which had just been drowned —
And I know where a rabbit goes into the ground!
But every one says, " Run along! "
(Run along, run along!)
All of them say " Yes, dear, " and never notice me.
Every one says, " Run along,
There's a little darling! "
If I'm a little darling, why won't they come and see?
