Please and Thank You
Language: English 
Please and thank you,
Please and thank you,
These are very good words to know.
(Repeat)
If somebody gives you a present,
say Thank You! (Thank You!)
If somebody says that you’re nice,
say Thank You! (Thank You!)
and if you want to get out of your
seat on your feet, when you’re
done with your eating,
say “Please, Mommy, please, Daddy,
let me out, let me out, let me out
of this high chair,
please Mommy, please Daddy,
PLEASE!
Thank you!
