Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all
Old Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all.

When teacher says, "Why do you bring
That little pet of yours?"
I tell her that I bring my cat
Along with me because...

English Song Lyrics - June
This song is good for illustrating the use of when and if:-

When you remember me,

But wherever you go
My love goes with you.

There ain't (isn't a) a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' (raining) ev'rybody's (everybody is) in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey, hey
