Matilda Jane and the Mooky Took: The time the silly old monster ate the cakes.
In a little town not far away, in a time just after tomorrow
Lived a little girl with curly brown hair, brown eyes and little button toes
Mathilda Jane was jolly like jam, she dug in her garden under the sun
She dug in the soil with the worms and beetles, and daisys and grasses and a big tree
Beside the big tree was a little house, it had 15 windows and a door
Beside the house was a little stream, which wriggled and wiggled and ran
The river ran on where the rainbowfall fell, near a bridge made of snow and flowers
And under the bridge was a little bed And under the bed was a deep, dark shadow
And there in the dark were two shiny eyes, and they belonged to a little Mooky-Took
The little Mooky-Took came out of the gloom, He was pink with blue spots and three feet
Mummy Mooky-Took was green with red stripes, and daddy Mooky-Took was purple
One day a silly old monster appeared. It went “woooh WOOH Woooh Wooh�. The silly old monster was in the wrong place, it was grumpy and smelly and cross
The Mooky-Tooks didn’t know what to do. Little Mooky-Took cried “What’s That?”
The silly old monster threw food on the floor, it drew on the walls and ate all their cakes
The Mooky-Tooks ran all around, the Mooky-Tooks were terrified. “Goodness” said Mummy-Took. “Crikey” said Daddy-Took.
When suddenly a giant foot came down and it squashed the monster flat
It squashed it good and flat and thin, it squashed it in the grass and flowers
The Mooky-Tooks looked up and up and up and Matilda Jane looked down
Litte Mooky-Took smiled at Matilda Jane. Matilda Jane said “Hellooo”
Matilda Jane looked all around. “Oh dear” she said, “We shall have to tidy up... and then we’ll bake some MORE cake”
Soon enough it was all nice again with lots of shadows and grass. “you can live here” said Matilda Jane, “and we can sing and dance”
and so they did... and they all lived happily ever after.
