Mama said to us, in church,
“You must be quiet as a mouse
Because you must not forget
That you are in God’s own house.”

But if it is God’s own house,
Doesn’t he love girls and boys?
When little kids are happy,
They might make a little noise.

But Sister explained to me,
Why we mustn’t make a peep.
She said, “Just look around you,
People are trying to sleep.”
