Lay away the little shirt waist
That our darling boy once wore;
In the rag bag gently shove it,
He won't ware it any more.
With pair of Red suspenders
We must soon our boy endow.
For the facts are most apparent
Papa's pants fits Johnnie now.
Lay aside the knickerbockers
With the fringe around the knees;
Take the marbles from the pocket,
All the strings and nails and keys;
Buy him socks instead of stocking,
Or the boy will raise a row;
For our darling has been growing
Papa's pants fits Johnnie now.
