Dolls are silly things to play with, There's so much a boy @3prefers;@1 But at times I have to stay with Sister when she tends to hers. And besides I often find her, (For you know how young she is!) Needing some one to remind her Of her 'sponsibilities. @3Anne and Lucy, Tot and Ted, Do you dollies s'pose That it's right to go to bed Wearing all your clo'se? Your Mamma's too young, I s'pect, To be scolded for neglect!@1 I'm a year and one month older Than my sister is, and she Can't expect (so Mother's told her) To sit up as late as me. So each night, when she is sleeping, It's my duty for awhile Just to see if she is keeping All her dolls in proper style. @3Anne and Lucy, Tot and Ted, Listen here to me! Every night you go to bed Wicked as can be. Don't you s'pose that Someone cares If you never say your prayers?@1 |
