Mother May I?

Now listen closely, cuz we're gonna play a little game. This game is called "Mother May I?" and all you have to do is listen and follow the moves that I call out. But, you can only do these moves if I say three magic words, which are: "Mother May I". So, if I say something like, "Mother, may I jump up real high?" Well, you can go ahead and try - JUMP! Good! But, if I do NOT say Mother May I, than you may NOT do the moves. Get it? Got it? Good! Let's go ...

Mother, may I take baby steps?
Mother, may I take a leap?
Mother, may I swim & get wet?
Can I dance to the beat?
NOOOO!
You didn't say 'Mother May I!'
I didn't say Mother May I!

Mother, may I jump up real high?
Mother, may I twist & shake?
Mother, may I wave my hand up high?
Can I take a dance break?
NOOOO! You didn't say 'Mother May I!'
I didn't say Mother May I!

Mother, may I get down on my knees?
Mother, may I touch the ground?
Mother, may I climb up some trees?
Can I make a silly sound?
NOOOO! You didn't say 'Mother May I!'
I didn't say Mother May I!

Alright! Let's try this one last time and see if we can get it right!

Mother, may I blink my eyes like this?
Mother, may I have my birthday wish?
Mother, may I give you a great big kiss?
You Got it!
Because I said Mother May I!
