Aunt Anna came To Our House - Barry Louis Polisar

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again

She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then

She told my sister to eat more, said she was getting thin

Told my brother to cut his hair and tuck his shirt tails in

She said we were all good children, who’d do what we were told

She pinched me on the cheek and told me not to get a cold

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again

She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then

She talked about the vegetables, said they were cooked too long

She said the house needs painting, said we should mow the lawn

She said she couldn’t stand our house, said it was such a mess

She said she’d have a heart attack, she said she was depressed

Aunt Anna came to our house to visit us again

She talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and talked and then

She said she’d never come again, she’d stay in a motel

But she says that every time she comes as far as I can tell

The truth is that she likes all the excitement that we bring

Even though she’s gonna kill me when she hears me sing
