[RM]  My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

He never wants to play.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso

Has nothing much to say.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

You’re such a scaredy-cat.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

I wish you weren’t like that.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

It’s no fun being shy.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

You should give life a try.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

The sun is out today.

My nephew Alphonso, my nephew Alphonso,

Let’s play.
