[When I am big, I mean to buy]
When I am big, I mean to buy
A dozen platters of pumpkin-pie,
A barrel of nuts, to have 'em handy,
And fifty pounds of sugar-candy.
A dozen platters of pumpkin-pie,
A barrel of nuts, to have 'em handy,
And fifty pounds of sugar-candy.
When I am big, I mean to wear
A long-tailed-coat, and crop my hair;
I'll buy a paper, and read the news,
And sit up late whenever I choose.
A long-tailed-coat, and crop my hair;
I'll buy a paper, and read the news,
And sit up late whenever I choose.
