Can I Have Some Peace and Quiet?

Sung to the tune of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from the movie, Frozen.

Me: 

Kids? 

(Knock, knock, knocking my hand against the table)

Can I have some peace and quiet?

Come on, please go and play.

I always see you near my door,

Or on the floor

It’s like you’ve never gone away!

It used to be so quiet,

but now it’s not.

I wish you would tell me why!

Can I have some peace and quiet?

It doesn’t have to be too quiet.

Kids: 
No way, Mommy!

Me: 
Please just fly!

(Knock, knock, knocking my hand against the table, again)

Can I have some peace and quiet?

Or at least a slice of pie?

I think your company is overdue

To leave don’t you?

What am I

Talking to the sky?

(Hang in there, Chris)

It never gets too lonely

All these cluttered rooms

Just watching the fights ensue…

(crash-boom, crash-boom, crash-boom, crash-boom)

Orchestral (during which I inhale through my nose and exhale via my mouth. At least twice.)

Me:

(Knocking)

Kids?

Please, I know you hear me!

People are asking you to play.

They say, “Can they come out?” and I want you to,

I’ll still be here for you,

Just please go play!

You always have each other,

Or at least the Wii.

What are you gonna do?

Can I have some peace and quiet?
