DOMINIQUE

You dunno ma leetle boy Dominique?

Never see heem runnin' roun' about de place?

'Cos I want to get advice how to kip heem lookin' nice,

So he won't be alway dirty on de face.

Now dat leetle boy of mine, Dominique,

If you wash heem an' you sen' heem off to school,

But instead of goin' dere, he was playin' fox an hare—

Can you tell me how to stop de leetle fool?
