My books and toys fill all the room. There's no place to get by.
Cleanup Time!

My books and toys fill all the room.
There's no place to get by!
So now my mamma says that I
should get in there and fly!

I pick up all the little things
that should be somewhere else
and put them where they ought to be:
my toybox or my shelf.

My picture books go in a stack
and on the shelf, then, back to back.
Then all my toys (except my bear)
I line up and put somewhere.

The big stuffed dog my brother won
and gave me back when I was young
goes on a BIG shelf by itself.

Then all my cars and planes and blocks
I put in my toy box.
And I say, "Hey mom!  Come and see!"
Then she says she's so proud of me.
