Ollie Full Bass

Eight pairs of shoes by the door

School bag dragged across the floor

Sock on one foot, grin on the other

Ollie’s already out to bother

He builds a fort from couch pillows

Then vanishes fast like a shadow

One minute calm, next minute race

Mud on his knees, joy on his face

Hey, hey, here he comes

Little rocket, big loud drums

Every day he takes off running

Every day he leaves us stunned

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Bouncing through the whole place

Ollie, Ollie, say his name

One kid, big flame

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Running circles, never same

Ollie, Ollie, call it out

That’s my boy, no doubt (Ollie)

Crayon maps and comic books

Loose tooth smile and sideways looks

Backyard goals and broken rules

Sticky hands from dinner rolls

He asks the moon a hundred things

Why the rain and where it swings

Then laughs so hard he folds in two

Like the whole world fits in him too

Hey, hey, hear that shout

Small frame, giant sprout

Every step is half a dance

Every day is second chance

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Bouncing through the whole place

Ollie, Ollie, say his name

One kid, big flame

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Running circles, never same

Ollie, Ollie, call it out

That’s my boy, no doubt (Ollie)

When the day gets heavy, you lift it

When the room goes quiet, you flip it

Small hand, strong hold

Heart so bright, never old

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Bouncing through the whole place

Ollie, Ollie, say his name

One kid, big flame

Ollie, Ollie, full bass

Running circles, never same

Ollie, Ollie, call it out

That’s my boy, no doubt (Ollie)
