by
Carl Palmer

I point at her Mommy**
and say, she’s my Mommy.
She hugs Mommy and says,
No, she’s my Mommy.
I lub you, Mommy.

 
I point at her GiGi**
and say, she’s my GiGi.
She hugs GiGi and says,
No, she’s my GiGi.
I lub you, GiGi.

 
I point at her Omi***
and say, she’s my Omi.
She hugs Omi and says,
No, she’s my Omi.
I lub you, Omi.
 

I point at my GGG
and say, you’re my GGG.
She hugs me and says,
And you’re my Papa.
I lub you, Papa!

 
I lub you, too, Ayverie
