"When a little boy's sick
And stays in bed,
And things feel queer
Inside his head.

2

"He cannot work,
He cannot play;
It's hard to pass
The time away.

3

"Don't make much fuss
An' talk a lot;
No questions ask
'Bout what he's got.

4

"They'll ask him that
When Doctor comes,
So just sit still
Like good, ole chums.

5

"An' take your knife
An' make him toys—
This knife knows what
Will please small boys.
