Hey, Little Boy
I. Hey, little boy, little boy, come to me! Hey, little boy, little boy, Andy! Hey, little boy, little boy, can it be Your mouth is crumbed with candy?" "What's that to you? what's that to me? What's that to you, nurse Mandy? It well may be why, certainly My mouth is crumbed with candy." II. "Hey, little boy, little boy, go away! Hey, boy, on what you banking? Hey, little boy, little boy, what you say? You surely want a spanking!" "Not now, to-morrow, or to-day! For that you have my thanking: Come, wash these signs of sweets away, And I won't get a spanking." III. "Hey, little boy, little boy, don't you hear? Hey, little boy, stop your running! Hey, boy, come here, and tell me, dear, Why you're so sweet and cunning." "If I am sweet, if I am dear, Now don't you go and tell, oh! The sweet things that one eats, you hear? They sweeten up a fellow."
