Dennis by Pete

Deeper waters flowed

Recently it showed

Tryin' to cover your head

Tryin' to frighten you

Tryin' to fight with you

Really gettin' you scared

But don't you worry, you love of mine

Pretty soon it will all be fine

And we'll just go on


Higher hills to climb

Climbin' all the time

Tryin' to find a way through

Fallin' down again, on the ground again

Wonderin' what you can do

But don't you worry, you love of ours

They look like weeds, but they're really flowers

And they'll soon be gone


You won't stand up, you won't sit down

Your head's a mile above the ground

And though we tend to scold you now

I couldn't start to tell you how

We couldn't start to tell you how

There's just no way to say how much we love you


You, little Dennis, you

You're full of new surprise

Love you

You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes

You're a prize


It could be bad, it could be worse

You're taking out your mother's purse

And though you cried when you got told

The money there was for the old

To keep their dogs from getting cold

The only thing that can't be sold is love


You, little Dennis, you

You're full of new surprise

Love you

You, little Dennis with the rascal in your eyes


Will you pick up your toys?

Will you be a good boy?

Will you please, please?


There's a way

There's a way

If you'll play

If you'll stay

There's a way through

There's a way to take away blue

Take away blue


There's a way

There's a way

If you'll play

If you'll stay

There's a way through

There's a way to take away blue

Take away blue


There's a way

There's a way

If you'll play

If you'll stay

There's a way through

There's a way to...
