Spreading out my pinafore
Wide, wide, wide;
You mi ght think it was wings,
IF you truly tried.
When play that IN horse,
Then I wear a tail,
Eat my luncheon from bag,
Drink it from pail
Smashed the cart up t'other day
Baby in it, too!
When he's scared and runs away
What 9 horse to dot
When I play that I'm wolf,
Then I howl and roar,
Shifting here, snuffng there,
Round the nursery door.

If still annoy.
