Tommy’s Tummy
Verse and Music by Louise Ayres Garnett

I have a lit-tle tum-my and it aches, aches, aches! It’s
all be-cause Iv’e had too ma-ny cakes, cakes, cakes.
It’s fun-ny when I like so much to eat, eat, eat, ‘Most
an-y-thing I e-ver saw that’s sweet, sweet, sweet, My
naugh-ty lit-tle tum-my has to ache, ache, ache, And
get me in-to trou-ble for it’s sake, sake, sake!
