Like Robinson Crusoe

Since I could read

I've longed to be

Like Robinson Crusoe

Making my home

All on my own

Like Robinson Crusoe

A castaway

Washed up one day

Upon a strange

And far away

Deserted island

I’ll tame a bird

And teach it words

Like Robinson Crusoe

I'll have to sleep

Up in a tree

Like Robinson Crusoe

This is my own

Pacific isle

No one around

For miles and miles

It's rather frightening

One little wave

Follows another

One tiny bird

Dives for its supper

One buzzing bee

Flies through the heather

One perfect day

To last forever

No [?] to

Take care of you

In Robinson Crusoe

And Rodger, he

Does not need me

In Robinson Crusoe

When there are five

And you are third

You have to shout

Just to be heard

I’m tired of shouting

One sandy beach

To softly tread on

One grassy bank

To rest my head on

One little cloud

To keep my eyes on

One tiny ship

On the horizon

Don't rescue me

I want to be

Like Robinson Crusoe

At least not yet

I've yet to get

Like Robinson Crusoe

When I've a beard

And gone quite mad

Then you can come

And take me back

Back home to mother

My lovely mother
