Rat a Tat-Tat

There’s a knock on our door

That goes rat-a-tat-tat.

It isn’t a donkey and it isn’t the cat.

It isn’t a horse or a tiny wee mouse.

Oh rat-a-tat-tat –

Who’s come to my house?

Rat-a-tat-tat – I can hear it again,

And it isn’t the wind and it isn’t the rain.

Rat-a-tat-tat – Look!

A shiny red van!

Oh, I think that you’ve guessed . . .

It’s our friendly postman!
