DMC: "A Man with a Cart" by Kathleen Mazurowski




A MAN WITH A CART

He travels the streets 
Pushing his cart
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling 
 
Summer celebration 
Calling to children
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling 
 
A break in the day
Stopping the workers
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling 
 
Neighbors gather
Smiling and laughing 
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling 
 
On to the next block
Pushing his cart
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling 
 
Sweet relief from the heat
Jing-a-ling, Jing-a-ling.
