Mrs. McFritter is our baby sitter She sails through the sky with the moon And if that sounds strange, please let me explain She flies in a hot air balloon She makes funny faces and takes us fun places A carnival, playground or zoo We sail through the air and fly anywhere Every wish we imagine comes true Singing yodel laydel la, never you fear Mrs. McFritter is here Her pockets are packed with puzzles and snacks Ribbons and bright colored beads Pencils and paste, paper and paints And books full of stories to read She carries harmonicas in her handbag One for each child to play She strums a guitar as we swing through the stars Merrily tooting away Singing yodel laydel la, never you fear Mrs. McFritter is here She makes up games that have funny names Like huke hockey, kookball or schmicks
We play them with rings, cartons and strings Scraps of old cardboard and sticks Then she lets us play with great wads of clay Small tools and spools of twine We make horses and planes, dollies and trains Or sculptures with dazzling designs Singing yodel laydel la, never you fear Mrs. McFritter is here When mommy comes home we give her a hug And tell her the fun things we did She hardly believes what goes on when she leaves It makes her wish she were a kid Then Mrs. McFritter, our baby sitter Hops back in here hot ail balloon She sings with a smile, "I'll be back in a while" Then goes swinging back up with the moon Singing yodel laydel la remember my tune I will return again soon Singing yodel laydel la remember my tune I will return again soon
