I Wish I Was a Little

---

I’m Wee Willie Winkie, I’m the size of your pinkie, so small that I’m tricky to see. I want to be loved, like all of the littles so that everyone sings about me!

---

I wish I was a little like Little Jack Horner and you sing about just where I sit.

---

I wish I was a little like This Little Piggy and you wiggle me and say I am it.

---

I wish I was a little like Little Boy Blue so I could go blow my horn.

---

I wish I was a little like Little Miss Muffet; I would lay down and sleep until morn.

---

I wish I was a little like Mary’s little lamb with fleece as white as snow.

---

Then you could sing songs about where I am and where I am sure to go.

---

But I’m not a little. I’m Wee Willie Winkie. I’m smaller and harder to see.

---

And I think I’d be happy being Wee Willie Winkie if you’d please sing a song about me!
