COURTESY

A pretty little boy and a pretty little girl
Found a pretty little blossom by the way;
Said the pretty little boy to the pretty little girl:
“Take it, O my pretty one, I pray!”
Said the pretty little girl to the pretty little boy:
“I must hold my Sunday bonnet, sir, you see;
So, I thank you very kindly, but I 'd very much prefer
You should carry it, and walk along with me.”
