For I would be your little boy.

We will never grow old, little girl, at all;

We’ll hop, skip and jump and play with a ball:

We’ll frolic, and laugh and climb the trees tall,

Just you, little girl, and I.

Oh, come, little girl and play with me,

For I would be your little boy.

We’ll make believe cats and doggies and things

Are elephants, lions and eagles with wings;

We’ll dream in the woods, where the waterfall sings,
