what to do

what to do 1979 (usa)



what to do

my mouth is to talk
my lips is to kiss
my foot is to walk
my hair is to comb
my hands is to clap
my hearth is to pump blood
my stomach is to eat
my book is to read
my eye is to see
my finger is to write
my foot is to stump
my lips is to lipstick
pants is to shorts
shorts is to mini
pants is to long
hair is to head
