What was I in my last birth?
Oh! what was I in my last birth?
what? what? what?
Thinking with a question mark
Was I a pen or a pencil?
was I a stick or a seal?
Or was I just a little banana
who could not peel?
Or was I just me in my house
having my meals?
I think maybe I was just a shark?
Or a little cute baby with a birth mark?
What? What? What?
thinking with a question mark
Was I a giraffe or was I a nail?
Or maybe I was the monkey with a short tail?
Or was I a wonderful toy who
was for sale?
Thinking, thinking, thinking, now
I am just too tired
Thinking of all this is only a waste,
now I am going to have a little bit of rest.
