First Line: Clang go the cymbals, bong goes the gong

Subject(s): Girls; Lindsay, Vachel (1879-1931)
Clang go the cymbals, bong goes the gong,
Bum goes the drum as I sing my song,
Song of the girl who was good, good, good
With a curl peeping out from her woolen hood.
Bing and a bung and a bim, bim, bim
She was as good as a seraphim;
But when she was bad, so the neighbors tell,
She was wicked to a fare-you-well!
Clang go the cymbals, bong goes the gong,
And there's an end to my little girl song!
