CHRISTOPHER CURLS
I should like to know why Christopher Curls,
Who's a sweet little boy with a face like a girl's,
Won't listen to me, though I keep on appealing,
But lies on his back making friends with the ceiling!
I should love to know.
Who's a sweet little boy with a face like a girl's,
Won't listen to me, though I keep on appealing,
But lies on his back making friends with the ceiling!
I should love to know.
I should like to know why Christopher Curls,
Who is dearer to me than a sackful of pearls,
Won't listen to drums, or to puppydogs squealing,
But chuckles and bubbles for friends on the ceiling!
I should love to know.

But chuckles and bubbles for friends on the ceiling!

Little Christopher Curls, am I right to suppose
That a fairy-born playmate good-humouredly throws
Back-somersaults there, and delights in revealing
Extravagant pranks on the floor of the ceiling?
I should love to know.

Back-somersaults there, and delights in revealing
Extravagant pranks on the floor of the ceiling?
I should love to know.
Little Christopher Curls, how I wonder, my dear,
If I acted like this when my age was a year;
If I never regarded my Uncle's appealing,
But bubbled and crowed to some friends on the ceiling!
I should love to know.
If I acted like this when my age was a year;

But bubbled and crowed to some friends on the ceiling!
