A Garden Party for Three.
Up in an apple-tree corner sat,
A little girl and a pussy-cat.
Just as cosy as they could wish,
Eating out of a china dish.
Close beside them a big black crow.
Saucy and thievish he was, you know—
Came and perched, saying “o dear me!
What a nice garden party for three!”
The little girl had enough to eat;
The cat and the crow had a royal treat;
And some other day in the apple-tree
There’ll be a nice garden party for three!
Black-eyed Susan.
Little black-eyed Susan
Through the meadows went
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
To visit her Grandmother
Was the little maid’s intent,
And to wish her a “how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan
Was a clever child;
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
And to every one who came along,
She courtesied and she smiled,
With a nice little “how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan
Stopped awhile to rest;
Pretty little Sukey-Sue!
When a lot of funny little folks,
In black and yellow drest,
Popped up, and said “why! how-de-do?”
Little black-eyed Susan,
Pretty courtesies made;
Clever little Sukey-Sue!
And nodding to the other
Black-eyed Susans, sweetly said,
“I’m pretty well. Pray how are you?”
