I was feeling a little silly today, so after working hard to get up out of my recliner, I decided to channel it into this old kiddie’s song. You can sing along if you like!!
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
You’ve been sitting too long in your chair
You promised to help me clean up the dishes
You promised to help me clean up the dishes
You promised to help me clean up the dishes
But you’ve been sitting too long in your chair
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
You’ve been sitting too long in your chair
You promised to run the big vacuum cleaner
You promised to run the big vacuum cleaner
You promised to run the big vacuum cleaner
But you’ve been sitting too long in the chair
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
You’ve been sitting too long in your chair
You promised to take me to Belk’s to go shopping
You promised to take me to Belk’s to go shopping
You promised to take me to Belk’s to go shopping
To buy me a pair of new shoes

Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Oh dear, what can the matter be
Your butt’s been too long in your chair

Ha! I can relate. Watching someone wile away the hours in a recliner when there are chores and errands at hand can get frustrating. Did you do your re-write before or after the chores?

Here’s the version of the song my dad taught me:
Oh, dear, what can the matter be
Two old ladies got locked in the lavatory
They were there from Monday till Saturday
Nobody knew they were there.

I’m sure they did, although there was probably some finger-pointing as to whose fault it was that they had become locked in the lavatory.

Seems like the chair is the culprit! All stretched out on the recliner it is hard to move. Napping is easier for sure. Thank you Carol Anne!
