Bad Things

There was a dog who buried a bone
When he thought he was alone
An old man from across the road
Dug it up and took it home.

When the dog went back to fetch it
With poppadoms and lots of ketchup
He couldn't find it:
It was gone.

Sometimes bad things happen
They make us cry instead of laughing
But if we pray God'll hear us
Up in heaven.

There was a cat who climbed a tree
And a leaf stuck to her knee
Then she was stung by a bee
Then she fell out and landed
In a cement mixer.

Sometimes bad things happen
They make us cry instead of laughing
But if we pray God'll hear us
Up in heaven.

Sometimes bad things happen
Even when we wish they hadn't
But when we cry God hears us
Up in heaven.
