Do I Know You? by Michael Rosen
I'm lost
I'm lost
I don't know where I am
I'm a sock in a washing machine
A strawberry in some jam
I'm a letter in a book
I'm the bubble in some fizz
I'm a pebble on a beach
I'm a question in a quiz
I don't know where you are
You don't know when I is
I don't know how you was
You don't know who I wiz.
So find me
Find me
Ask me who I am
Get me out the washing machine
Fish me out the jam
Open up the book
Let out all the fizz
Let's walk on the beach
And I'll answer your quiz
Then I'll know where you are
You'll know when I is
I'll know how you was
And you'll know who I wiz.
