I know, you did not
Like it a bit,
That I did not bring you along.
But I need to fight a lonely fight
So when you grow up
And are ready to play,
I can play with you;
And when you plan for
A ball with you prince
I can train you with a dance,
Exquisite and charming as you are;
And in stead of limping through the course,
And bothering your hurried pace,
Depart, unannounced
With lips smiling with a playful song
Like it a bit,
That I did not bring you along.
But I need to fight a lonely fight
So when you grow up
And are ready to play,
I can play with you;
And when you plan for
A ball with you prince
I can train you with a dance,
Exquisite and charming as you are;
And in stead of limping through the course,
And bothering your hurried pace,
Depart, unannounced
With lips smiling with a playful song
