“Oh, mother, do get him some stockings and shoes,
And a nice little frock, and a hat, if you choose;
I wish he’d come into the parlor and see
How warm we would make him, poor chick-a-de-dee.”
Chick-a-de-dee, etc.
“There is One, dear child, though I cannot tell who,
Has clothed me already, and warm enough too.
Good-morning! Oh, who are so happy as we?”
And away he went singing his chick-a-de-dee.
Chick-a-de-dee, etc.
