Little Dora.

Topics: classic

I tell you what my little Dora,             You do cause my heart to sorrow,             Tell me now you little misses             What you do with all your kisses.             I see you get them by the dozen             From each aunt and little cousin,             Said she I do intend dear pa             To give them all to you and ma.             And not a single one I'll miss,             But I will give you back each kiss,             And both of you will feel you're blest             When I pay you interest.             You'll better in my bank invest             And put my principle to test,             And you can dividend partake,             For my bank will never break.
