one sweet pea lives all alone

In a pea pod house

that she calls her own

she spends all day singing her song

“I’m a little sweet pea

and I want to get along”

​

two sweet peas are the best of friends

one said to the other

“I hope it never ends”

they spend all day singing their song

“we’re little sweet pea’s

and we love to get along”

​

three sweet peas get along very well

living life together in their pea pod shell

they spend all day singing their song

we’re little sweet pea’s and we try to get along

​

four sweet peas were getting quite tight

they started to squabble,

and they started to fight

they spend all day singing their song

“we’re peas in a pod

so we have to get along”

 

five peas in a pod could just barely fit

one said to the others

“I think it’s time we split”

and that’s when it happened -

when the pea pod pursed

and they flew through the air

as the pea pod burst

 

they flew through the air

still singing their song

they landed on the ground

and it didn’t take long

they grew deep roots

becoming sweet pea plants

growing up as tall

as a scarecrow’s pants

​

they grew pea pods

with so many sweet peas

and they all lived together

as a happy family, singing…

 

“we’re little sweet peas

and we sing our song

we always play together

and we try to get along

we love each other

and we love our friends

were little sweet peas

and hope it never ends”

 

good-night little one, time to sleep,

time to dream

​
