&lt;p&gt;The kids next door have everything&lt;br&gt;
you can think of and yet they love to come in&lt;br&gt;
and play with us.&lt;br&gt;
Their mother makes an awful fuss.&lt;br&gt;
Says, ‘You’ll come filthy, in such a mess!’&lt;br&gt;
Oh yes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s just what they like about our place.&lt;br&gt;
Nobody says, ‘Go wash you face,’&lt;br&gt;
or &amp;ldquo;Look at your shoes! Look at your hair!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My Ma, she doesn’t seem to care,&lt;br&gt;
When we’re having fun it’s quite all right,&lt;br&gt;
it will all come off in the bath tonight.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
