That’s why they picked out the “Waterbury,”
Three little maids at school.
But now we are all “real nice,” you know,
And always act as our watches go,
Not the least bit “fast,” but by no means “slow,”
Three little maids from school.
From three little maids take these away,
And three little maids would be all astray—
For we’d never be up to the time of day,
Three little maids from school.
