Granny Granny Please Comb My Hair –by Grace Nichols

Granny granny,

Please comb my hair

You always take your time

You always take such care

You make me sit on a cushion

Between your knees

You rub a little coconut oil

Parting my hair as gentle as a breeze

Mummy mummy

She's always in a hurry-hurry

she pulls my hair

Sometimes she tugs

But granny...

You have all the time in the world

And when you've finished

You always turn my head and say

'Now who's a nice girl?'
