Although my name Is Marguerite
And Marguerite means pearl,
Nobody thinks that I'm sweet,
Cause I'm the middle girl.
When grow up, and when | have
A family of my own,
I'll send up for the middle girl
To come down stairs alone;
And shalt let her speak and sing
And have lot OF iun.
I'll not deny her anything
Cause She the middle one!
