1. Roly-Poly is three years old;
Yes, three years old and a trifle over;
Roly-Poly is round as a ball,
As jolly as larks, and sweet as clover.
Roly-Poly has stars for eyes,
A heavenly chin with a dimple in it;
Peaches for cheeks, the bud of a nose,
And a tongue that is never still a minute.
2. Roly-Poly's a business man;
He rides to market on Grandpa's cane;
He orders breakfast of peppermint drops,
Then gallops his pony home again.
Roly-Poly rules everything;
His father and mother are captives wholly;
Sisters must yield to such a king,
Who will make all obey him, Roly-Poly.
