I was weeding out some of the books on our shelves this week when I came across this one. I'd picked it up at a thrift shop a while back but never really took a close look at it. I'm sure there was SOMEthing about it that caught my eye when I decided to purchase it...now if I could just put my finger on what it was. (wink)
Together by George Ella Lyon

You cut the timber and I'll build the house.
You bring the cheese and I'll fetch the mouse.
You salt the ice and I'll crank the cream.
Let's put our heads together and dream the same dream.
I'll drive the truck if you fight the fire.
I'll plunk the keys if you'll be the choir.
I'll find the ball if you'll call the team.
Let's put our heads together and dream the same dream.
You dig for water and I'll make a pail.
I'll paint the boat if you'll set the sail.
You catch the fish and I'll catch the stream!
Let's put our heads together and dream the same dream.
