Little Girlie Good Enough

Little Girlie Good Enough     Lives right there across the street;     Neater than a powder-puff,     Yes she is, and just as sweet:     Bows and ribbons on her hair,     And her frock just so. Declare,     Looks just like a doll, she does;     Best girl that there ever was.     Little Girlie Good Enough     Never answers people back.     Spick and span from shoe to cuff,     Brighter than a brand new tack.     Knows her lessons every day;     Never loiters on her way:     Teeth like two clean rows of pearls.     She's the very best of girls.     Little Girlie Good Enough     Never goes with shoes untied;     Never, never's rude or rough;     She's her parent's joy and pride     Never cries for candy, nor     For the things not good for her:     Hair is always combed and curled.     She's the best girl in the world.     Little Girlie Good Enough     Never gets her dresses soiled;     Never plays with mud or stuff;     And her face looks like it's oiled     It's so clean and shiny. She     Never's even out at knee;     Stockings perfect, always so.     She's the best girl that I know.     Little Girlie Good Enough     Wish I was as good as she!     Never flies into a huff,     Makes a scene like you or me     Only speaks when spoken to;     Never talks like me and you     When there's company to tea.     She's a good girl; yes sir-ee.     Little Girlie Good Enough     I don't like you, never could.     Think you're nothing but a muff,     And that you are far too good.     Never kissed a boy! oh my!     Never played the game Hi Spy,     Lost the Handkerchief, or such!     You're too good to even touch.     Little Girlie Good Enough,     Some one's going to do for you;     Going to treat you good and tough,     Spatter you from head to shoe;     Pull your hair and scratch your face,     Send you home in great disgrace;     Show you you're not up to snuff,     Little Girlie Good Enough.
