Hey where's Maliyah?  
I wonder where she's at?  
Maybe she's in the yard 
Playing with the cat.  
 
I know where she might be.  
She might be in the pool.  
On a hot, summer day,  
That's how she stays cool.  
 
Maybe she's with Jaylynne 
Visiting the zoo,  
Looking at the hippos 
And the monkeys, too. 
 
Is dad getting her a treat  
At the ice cream store?  
When she's done, she'll laugh 
And surely ask for more.  
 
Maybe mom and Maliyah  
Are shopping at the mall. 
Maliyah doesn't want one toy. 
She'd like to have them all.  
 
Look, there she is!  
She was here after all.  
Maliyah's in her room 
Playing with a ball.
