• Red rover , red rover, send daddy rite over
    We used to laugh
    We used to play checkers
    but now we prank everyone
    And when April fools comes around
    It's war


    Red rover, red rover, send mommy rite over
    you used to nag me
    when I didn't wear those pink dresses
    I was never your little girl
    running around and beating up the boys
    Bringing you flowers from the swamp
    I was always your little tomboy

    Red rover, red rover, send brother rite over
    Thank you for taking the blame
    for when I was eight and flung
    spaghetti all over the kitchen
    I'll never tell your secrets
    even though you stuck ice down my shirt

    Red rover, red rover, send pookie rite over
    Dearest teddy bear
    I told you everything
    you were quite fair
    but you know something
    when we lost power
    I felt better when I hugged you
