Inspired by the beautiful story I read, I wrote this song. Hope it brings joy! I loved writing this. Lyrics: Once upon a time 5 years old and three feet tall A girl named Ari had herself Her very own baby doll They played and played and played In the rain or in the snow And Ari took good care of her Anywhere she’d go On a Monday by the beach sat three kittens in a box All it took was “mama please with a cherry on top” And they all went down to the playground To McDonald’s and then the mall Ari never went anywhere without a kitten and a baby doll A kitten and a baby doll Now Ari’s 25 And she don’t play with toys no more But she still drives around the town With a reason to explore And Ari’s got a baby in the backseat Santa Claus waiting at the mall And just like mama Ari’s daughter’s Doesn’t go nowhere without The same old cats that Ari had And holdin’ onto mama’s old baby doll
