I have a little Lolly Shop, right next to my house,
Everybody goes there, including my pet mouse!
There's liquorice and chocolate, they're colours black and red,
Lots of people buy it and everybody said...
"We love this lolly shop, we think it is the best!
It really is a good one, we'll go here again!"
I also love my lolly shop, the chewing gum and sweets,
I wish that I could buy, as much as I can eat!
One day they had to close the shop, it made me very sad,
There was a line of customers and they were very mad.
"We want the shop to open!, it should never close,
When will it open again? Nobody knows."
I knocked at the shop window and they opened up the door,
"There's customers out here and they want more, more, MORE!"
"We love this lolly shop, we think it is the best!
It really is a good one, we'll go here again!"
