Lyrics
Bring lots of wood
Bring lots of leaves
Bring lots of paint
But hush, hush, hush, hush, hush
Chorus
Let’s be quiet as a mouse
And build a lovely little house
For Wendy, all for Wendy
She’s come to stay, and be our mother
At last we have a mother
Home sweet home upon the wall
A welcome mat down in the hall
For Wendy, so that Wendy
Won’t go away
We have a mother
At last we have a mother
Oh, the pleasure she’ll bring to us
Make us pockets and sing to us
Tell us stories we’ve been longing to hear
Over and over
She’ll be waiting at the door
We won’t be lonely anymore
Since Wendy, lovely Wendy’s here to stay
Chorus
Let’s be quiet as a mouse
And build a lovely little house
For Wendy, all for Wendy
She’s come to stay, and be our mother
At last we have a mother
Home sweet home upon the wall
A welcome mat down in the hall
For Wendy, so that Wendy
Won’t go away
We have a mother
At last we have a mother
Oh, the pleasure she’ll bring to us
Make us pockets and sing to us
Tell us stories we’ve been longing to hear
Over and over
She’ll be waiting at the door
We won’t be lonely anymore
Since Wendy, lovely Wendy’s here to stay
We have a mother, at last we have a mother
She’ll be our mother, it’s nice to have a mother
Wendy, Wendy stay
