Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
A song about a kid staring down a single marshmallow on a plate, with fifteen minutes between them and a second one.
ONE marshmallow sitting on my plate, Just ONE — and all MINE — if I can WAIT! Fifteen minutes? Are you SURE? Marshmallow's RIGHT THERE — what's the cure?
WAIT, wait, wait! (Don't eat it YET!) Wait for TWO — try not to forget! WAIT, wait, wait! (Look away, look AWAY!) TWO marshmallows are on their way!
The marshmallow's fluffy, white, and bright, It JIGGLES when I shake the table — right? The marshmallow whispers, "EAT ME NOW!" I cover my ears and I shout MEOW!
I sing Old MacDonald — E-I-E-I-O! I wiggle my ears, I wiggle my toes! I count to ten, then count to TWENTY! The clock ticks slow — but the clock ticks PLENTY!
WAIT, wait, wait! (Don't eat it YET!) Wait for TWO — try not to forget! WAIT, wait, wait! (Look away, look AWAY!) TWO marshmallows are on their way!
DING DING DING! The timer goes! TWO marshmallows under my nose! First one in — TWO — YUM YUM YUM! Sweeter 'cause I WAITED. Here they come!
