(to the tune of Twinkle, twinkle, little star...)
This is my mother, this is my aunt,
My grandfather and my cat,
Here’s my uncle, here’s my dad, 
Here’s my sister and my nan,
This is my cousin, this is my dog,
Here’s my brother, here’s my friend.

my father        my grandpa           my niece  		my nephew
