The dody fairy

The dody fairy's coming
She's visiting our house
She'll be landing in the night time
As quiet as a mouse

Why's she coming mummy
What she gunna do
I have a dody already
Is she bringing number two?

She doesn't bring you more
This is really hard to say
But she comes to see the big kids
To take dodys away

Oh mummy she can't do that
I need it when I sleep
I like it when I'm tired
Without it I'll just weep

You really shouldn't worry
It's a very special visit
She also brings a present
That's not so bad now is it?

I like a present mummy
You know I like new stuff
But swapping for my dummy
That seems a little tough

She'll take it to a better place
Where dodys play and live
Doesn't that sound nice now
Come, would you like to give?

It sounds very unusual
I think I'd like to go
Is Dodyland like Disneyland
Please tell me what you know

Well, each dummy grows a smiley face
And looks a lot like its owner
It grows tiny arms and legs
And develops its own persona

The dummys get a little house
With a garden at the rear
They lives in twos, pinks and blues
quite happily I hear

They spend their time remembering
The time you kept them close
They share their happy memories
Of the one who loved them most

As much as they love their owners
They know that life moves on
And know that you'll grow big and strong
After they have gone

They want you to be happy
and always make a pact
That if you miss them after two whole weeks
They'll promise to come back

Okay I think I understand
But before I make the shift
Can we have a chat now
About the little gift

Now the dummy means a lot to me
And quite a lot to you
It's you that got me hooked on it
You're responsible here too

Now I'm quite bright for a two year old
My decisions aren't so rash
I want something of value
You're going to spend your cash

So mummy spoiled her treasure
And felt a little guilt
The dody disappeared that night
and gifts lay on the quilt

In a matter of just days though
The memories were all distant
The dody fairy took the dummies
And we really didn't miss them.
