A SAD CASE.
I can't understand why we don't like the things
It 's wholesome and proper to eat;
I wish that I just hated candies and cakes,
And cared for potatoes and meat.
It 's wholesome and proper to eat;
I wish that I just hated candies and cakes,
And cared for potatoes and meat.
It frightens me, sometimes, to think what I 'd do,
If only I had my own way
In a candy-shop or a baker-shop,
With no one to watch me, some day.
If only I had my own way
In a candy-shop or a baker-shop,
With no one to watch me, some day.
For if any one left me alone with a lot
Of candies and cakes at my side,
I firmly believe I should eat, and should eat,
And should eat, and should eat, till I died.
Of candies and cakes at my side,
I firmly believe I should eat, and should eat,
And should eat, and should eat, till I died.
