She watches every coat and hat
And every dress that huttcrs;

Tulos they seek 10 poster
Hy shutting doors and windows, too
That doesn't interest her.
She knows what kind OF meat they buy,
What kind of servants buy II.
Who calls on who and when and why
And no one can deny IT,.
She hears the dOOTbells when they ring
And. though she may be sleeping
IN from her slumhers she will spring
TO do her little peeping.
It's really fun. so folks aver,
To see her daily lodging.
