[Verse 1]
Tiny blue jacket
Muddy little paws
Peter in the garden
Breaking all the laws
Benjamin’s whisper
“Careful what you do”
Mr. McGregor comin’ round the rows after you
Flopsy and Mopsy
Cotton-tail chase
Pastry crumbs falling all over the place
Jemima dreaming of a picnic sky
Feathers in a basket as the wagons roll by
[Chorus]
Pour the tea
Pass the jam
Pull your chair in closer
Every tale on the page spills a little bit over
From the fields
From the farm
Onto my bedroom floor
All of Beatrix’s friends knocking at my door
(oh) Hop
Scamper
Flutter
Run
They all come alive when the stories are sung
[Verse 2]
Tom Kitten climbing where he shouldn’t climb
Buttons popping off one at a time
Tabitha twitching at the kitchen sink
Trying not to laugh as he starts to wink
Squirrel Nutkin shouting riddles to the trees
Tail held high
Never saying please
Mrs. Tiggy-winkle with the folded sheets
Steam on her glasses
Warmth in her cheeks
[Chorus]
Pour the tea
Pass the jam
Pull your chair in closer
Every tale on the page spills a little bit over
From the fields
From the farm
Onto my bedroom floor
All of Beatrix’s friends knocking at my door
(hey) Hop
Scamper
Flutter
Run
They all come alive when the stories are sung
[Bridge]
Once on a shelf in a quiet room
Now they spin and they spin in the afternoon
I turn one page
And I’m tumbling through
Into every little world that she drew
[Chorus]
Pour the tea
Pass the jam
Pull your chair in closer
Every tale on the page spills a little bit over
From the fields
From the farm
Onto my bedroom floor
All of Beatrix’s friends knocking at my door
(oh) Hop
Scamper
Flutter
Run
They all come alive when the stories are sung
They all come alive when the stories are sung
