One Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall , you’d ride a worm to school.

The teardrop of a crying and would be your swimming pool.

A crumb of cake would be a feast

And last you seven days at least ,

A flea would be a frightening beast

If you were one inch tall .

If you were only one inch tall , you’d walk beneath the door ,

And it would take about a month to get down to the store .

A bit of fluff would be your bed,

You’d swing upon a spider’s thread ,

And wear a thimble on your head

If youwere one inch tall .

you’d surf across the kitchen sink upon a stick of gum

you could’t hug your mama , you’d just have to hug her thumb .

you’d run from people’s feet in fright ,

To move a pen would take all night ,

Cause I’m just one inch tall )
