Talking and listening
The cup, the jug, the plate and the mug
The cup, the jug, the plate and the mug
Said, “We must play a game,
The cup, the jug, the plate and the mug
Said, “We must play a game,
For if we don’t then every day
The cup, the jug, the plate and the mug
Said, “We must play a game,
For if we don’t then every day
Will always be the same.”
“For every day, we all get used,
“For every day, we all get used,
Washed up and left to dry.
“For every day, we all get used,
Washed up and left to dry.
Then we are back upon our shelf,
“For every day, we all get used,
Washed up and left to dry.
Then we are back upon our shelf,
And life has passed us by.”
“But I always win the games we play,
“But I always win the games we play,
And that is no fun,”
said the jug.
“But I always win the games we play,
And that is no fun,”
said the jug.
“Then we must find a brand new game,
“But I always win the games we play,
And that is no fun,”
said the jug.
“Then we must find a brand new game,
That we all can win,”
said the mug.
“Who knows of such a game?”
asked the plate.
“Who knows of such a game?”
asked the plate.
They all began to think.
“Who knows of such a game?”
asked the plate.
They all began to think.
“I know,”
said the cup, “The next time we are washed,
“Who knows of such a game?”
asked the plate.
They all began to think.
“I know,”
said the cup, “The next time we are washed,
We will ask the kitchen sink.”
The next day they were in the sink.
The next day they were in the sink.
They gave it their request.
The next day they were in the sink.
They gave it their request.
The sink could not think of a game,
The next day they were in the sink.
They gave it their request.
The sink could not think of a game,
But it started quite a quest.
A sink has pipes that leave the house,
A sink has pipes that leave the house,
And go out to the drain.
A sink has pipes that leave the house,
And go out to the drain.
The drain goes down into the ground
A sink has pipes that leave the house,
And go out to the drain.
The drain goes down into the ground
To join the sewer main.
The sewer main is long and dark.
The sewer main is long and dark.
No answer could it give.
The sewer main is long and dark.
No answer could it give.
But it has pipes that lead from homes
The sewer main is long and dark.
No answer could it give.
But it has pipes that lead from homes
Where other things all live.
The things in all these other homes,
The things in all these other homes,
All tried to find a game,
The things in all these other homes,
All tried to find a game,
And they began to talk to each other,
The things in all these other homes,
All tried to find a game,
And they began to talk to each other,
By telling the sewer main.
I don’t know if they found their game,
I don’t know if they found their game,
The cup, mug, jug, plate and sink,
I don’t know if they found their game,
The cup, mug, jug, plate and sink,
But now they have so many friends,
I don’t know if they found their game,
The cup, mug, jug, plate and sink,
But now they have so many friends,
It seems each day passes by in a blink.
