The Lovable Child
Frisky as a lambkin,
Busy as a bee--
That's the kind of little girl
People like to see.
Modest as a violet,
As a rosebud sweet-
That's the kind of little girl
People like to meet.
Bright as is a diamond
Pure as any pearl--
Every one rejoices in
Such a little girl.
Happy as a robin,
Gentle as a dove--
That's the kind of little girl
Every one will love.
Fly away and seek her, little song of mine,
For I choose that very girl as my Valentine.
