BUT...

You’re packing up your things again;
We know what that’s about.
You’re leaving, off to take a trip;
Of that, there is no doubt.

What if we watch you longingly,
Could maybe we go too?
Or even better, could you stay
At home, please do, please do.

But… if your plans are what they are,
And we must part a while
At least we’ll still be in our house,
Familiar, just our style!
